Either lens dust or sensor dust. Its a VERY familiar sight to SLR users.

I have a big smear, like this, on the sensor of my Canon PowershotA80. I've been told this happens during production (fingerprint).

| Hmm... since you don't have a dSLR, I seriously doubt it's sensor dust. Maybe some dust or some kind of smudge on your lens? Have you checked the surface of your lens? |

If this is on all photos it is a very light (thin almost ransparent) piece of dust. Try taking a pic of the light blue sky at something like f/22 - f/30 then hit auto levels. You will be surprised at how much dust is really on the sensor. Try Coperhill sensor cleaning system to remove.

He has a point 'n shoot; he can't ACCESS the sensor...

I ended up with a smear like that on my 4900Z after 2.5 years of hard use, and I just started framing so I could crop it out. Too much of a hassle to have the camera serviced...

I solved this problem; but it was expensive. I bought a 20D.
P.S. Isn't there software that allows you to access the sensor on a Powershot?

Ooopppps. Yup indeed. Well he can at least verify and then can talk to the manufacturer a little better about the issue.

| Doesn't it come with a 1 year warranty? If there is a way to clean the sensor it could void your warranty. Can you send it back for service? |
