5: White round spots like soap bubbles
appear on the recorded picture.
• If you take a
picture with the
flash in a dark
place or
indoors, white
orbs may
appear in the
picture because the flash reflects off
particles of dust in the air. This is not a
malfunction. This is identifiable from the
number of round spots and their
locations, which will differ in every
picture.
• A characteristic of this is that the
number of round spots and their
position differ in every picture.
