CCD Gone Bad in My DX-8000G?

1 posts
  1. Any Sea and Sea gurus out there? I got back from a recent dive trip, dumped my pics on to my PC then made my characteristically rookie attempts at color correction (got to love Photoshop's Auto Levels!). It was only running it through correction that I noticed a pixel-wide vertical bar runing through every pic! It was there before color correction, it's just that I hadn't noticed it until Adobe "corrected" the bar to a brighter color. The bar is visible on other monitors, so it's not my PC monitor.

     

    I called Sea and Sea and described the problem -- the tech thought the CCD had gone bad. Eck! He would need to inspect it to be sure, but replacing the CCD is a $350.00 proposition.

     

    Anyone have any wild digicam mojo they can impart to me? A magic reboot button for Sea and Sea cameras?

     

    :P

     

     

    ....and yes, I'm about 6 months out of warranty.
