Found a neat little spot down the tracks with tons of photo ops including trains, graffiti, an airport, a substation and a highway.. I was using my new Leica V-Lux 5 and I'm encountering a problem with long expos that I never had with my Nikon D7000. From what I've found on Google they're called "hot pixels" which are little red, green or blue dots. They're a huge pain to clone out and I've included an example pic at the bottom.
I've found contradicting advice on Google.. Some say to turn up the ISO, some say to turn it down (I'm already using 125 which is as low as the camera goes.) Some people also say to get the camera serviced and calibrated. I was just wondering if anyone on here has had the same problem and has any insight on how to fix it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

From picture #2 before cloning. It's probably pretty hard to see.. The dots look white but on my computer they're RGB.
