New GH2; pixel out... Sometimes...

Another quick question for the guys who have more experience with the GH2.
I recently bought the GH2, I noticed that while taking stills at iso's about 1600, it looks like a pixel is out in the image. I do not see the bad pixel when shooting video.
I don't notice it at all when at lower iso's but I know it's definitely out when the ISO is jacked up.
Should I be concerned? Should I exchange while I have the chance?
 
Do a sensor clean in your menu options, also check your lens and your sensor for dust.
Your video is only using a small portion of your actual sensor, so if there is something you notice in your photos... it may be outside of the video portion of your camera's sensor.
You camera is under warranty, so if all else fails.... just take it back.
 
Thanks Daihard. I actually immediately did a sensor cleaning right after I discovered the pixels. They are definitely out. I know dead pixels in video cameras sometimes don't show up much unless the gain is up... I guess that's what I'm seeing here. I'm glad it's not in the video space, but it's disappointing to find one right out of the box.
Tha ks for your help.
