Hot pixels are individual pixels which look brighter than they should. They are also called sparkles. Most cameras present this imperfection because of the higher ISO, so does an action camera.

Hot pixels are always there actually. They are not so visible in low ISO, in this case, the camera exposure is full and the image signal is large, thus its SNR is high. Therefore, the brightness adjustment should fix most of the hot pixels problems.

Follow the steps to solve hot pixels problems

2. Create a folder and rename it "engmode" on your SD card, in the root directory.
