If white circular spots appear on photos (HDR-CX580V/PJ580/PJ580V/PJ600/PJ600V)

This is caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are accentuated by the camcorder’s flash, they appear as white circular spots.

To reduce the white circular spots, light the room and shoot the subject without a flash.

The flash does not work while the (Movie) lamp is lit (HDR-CX580V/PJ580/PJ580V/PJ600/PJ600V).
