Get rid of hot pink pixels on a Canon camera sensor

Sometimes image sensors on digital cameras develop stuck or dead pixels. Sometimes showing as a bright pink pixel on the jpg image. Canon cameras and probably other brands too have a function to self repair.

1. Put a fully charged battery in the camera.
2. From the Menu (Under Advanced Functions) initiate a "Manual Sensor Cleaning".
3. Wait for about half a minute, then turn off the camera.

This worked on my Canon 50D
