How can i remove a stuck pixel from a camcorder?

Mar 27, 2011 1:21PM PDT

i have a canon hv40 HD camcorder and i noticed a small red dot in all of my footage. i did some research and found that its called a stuck pixel. now im not talking about a dead or hot pixel. those are black or white. i have a stuck pixel. these are red green or blue. people often confuse dead/hot/stuck pixels. i was just wondering is there a way to fix this my self? (not in post) i heard about this firmware that canon uses to fix this.
