camera.

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
