When “White circular spots” appear in flash photos
These spots are caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are accentuated by the camera’s flash, they appear as white circular spots.
How can the “White circular spots” be reduced?
  • Light the room and shoot the subject without flash.

Notes
  • The flash strobes twice. The first flash adjusts the light quantity.

  • While charging the flash, flashes. After charging is completed, the flashing icon will light up.
