weird blue dot

[Girl01]

I recorded some footage on my canon 700d and when i was in a darker room this weird small blue dot became visible.

I've recorded other things since and its gone now but i was just a bit worried what it could have been?

when i recorded it at the time i was using the studio lights then went into a dark room don't know if that had anything to do with it?

anyway i have put in a pic so you can see it...

Could be a dead pixel on the CMOS (camera sensor)
Try taking a few pictures see if it turns up

What is a dead pixel? Is that bad?

You know how computer screens are made up of millions of pixels? So are camera sensors (slighlty more complicated, but that's the basics).
A dead pixel is when one of the pixeks on the screen/etc stops responding/working, it'll turn blue (usually) and you can't really do much about it.
I've had a dead pixel in the past and I managed to "restart" it by applying a tiny bit of pressure on it. Don't do that with a camera though.

I hope I don't have this

I recorded a video just now and it seems to of gone

What causes them? Could it come back?

Sometimes things just fail, could also be a stuck pixel or many other things. If it's gone, there's no telling if it'll come back.

It's a brand new camera it shouldn't happen!

Brand new stuff breaks too sometimes (sadly)
If it happens again your cameras waranty should (hopefuly) cover it

Dead pixels are pretty common and less noticeable, a stuck pixel is a bigger problem.
Your picture looks like neither to me, I'm guessing it's an odd reflection or something small on the lens--make sure it's clean.

Trying to stay positive. It seems to of gone for now
