So I got this red dot on liveview mode and my videos but not on any photos ..... any clue?

Are you sure it's not on the photos? Your resolution is a higher for photos so it might just be much smaller. We're talking 5184 x 3456 for photos compared to 1920 x 1080 for video, right?
 
I took fotos of a black wall to white wall checked on blue sky can't find it on my fotos :(

It could be so small that it looks like a normal pixel in fotos?

Should I send it to canon? I don't shoot videos so its ok, but the camera still brand new

Probably because you're spelling photos wrong… :p Why not upload a full res to dropbox so we can have a look? Take a long exposure with the lens cap on and long exposure NR off.
 
Gonna file gooi some :p hold on
 
Alternatively take your lens off and put the body cap on the camera then do a manual sensor clean. This is supposed to map out the dead/stuck pixels.

Now it could be that because the sensor heats up more when you're shooting video it's not getting quite as warm when shooting stills without live view?

Glad it worked. :) Like sensor dust I don't go looking for dead/stuck pixels - they'd probably drive me to distraction if I found one! :eek:

You could always do what my dad did when his check engine light came on… stick a piece of electrical tape over it. :D

I had a red line running down the edge of my laptop screen for the longest time so I changed my wallpaper to match. Out of sight out of mind.
