You may be able to fix dead pixels on your JVC mini camcorder.
When viewing uploaded video content from your JVC mini camcorder, you may notice a small, white dot in the same location of all the shots recorded. This is known as a dead pixel. Occasionally, pixels die out on electronics, leaving a void of space. These pixels are typically difficult to see, and often times, unless you point it out, the viewer is not going to spot it (although once it is seen it is hard not to watch the dead pixel). There are a few ways to work around this and possibly fix the problem, although it may be best to just let the dead pixel go.
Instructions
1. Shut down the JVC mini camcorder, leave it off for a few minutes, then turn the camcorder back on. It is possible the pixel is just frozen and not dead. Occasionally, pixels lock up and don't record properly. However, if this does not correct the problem you know you have a dead pixel.
2. Upload the video content into your video editor. If you have a higher-end editor (such as Avid, Final Cut and some Pinnacle systems) you are able to crop and zoom into the image. If the dead pixel is near the edge of the recorded subject mater select the "Crop" option, then zoom into the image until the dead pixel is no longer seen. The video is going to appear slightly grainy, but it removes the pixel from your footage.
3. Take the JVC mini camcorder into a local repair shop. Often times this costs several hundred dollars to fix, and it may be almost the same price as a new camera. Take this into consideration when deciding if you really want to fix the dead pixels.
