Question

White hazy round spots occasionally appear in a recorded image when using the flash.

Answer

This occurs if there are dust particles floating in the air and they are illuminated by the strong flash light. This would occasionally appear in a recorded image as round spots. This symptom tends to occur when using a compact camera. Note that this is not a malfunction.

How this symptom occurs





If this occurs, please shoot without using the flash.
* If ambient light is not enough, such as when shooting indoors, please increase the ISO sensitivity. Also, please use a tripod or hold the camera steady to prevent camera-shake
