I hadn't heard of "hot pixels" causing this effect -- very interesting,
although it's odd how the speckles follow a pattern around objects.

After I posted, I called Casio tech support, which suggested that I send the
camera in for repair. But the guy didn't really have a theory about the
cause, so I'm still interested in what you or anyone has to say. Thanks
again


Though I dont own a Casio camera I would be interested in any answers you
eventually get from them.

Part of my lifes philosophy is:
All knowlege is usefull.
