stains on p100 pics

[kezs]

hello everyone.

a while ago I noticed a few stains on my pictures. they don't show up every time, and after a while I noticed it's more evident when I use small appertures... which means they're around the lens, I guess. I've cleaned them though, and it doesn't help. I took this picture of the sky with full zoom so I could get to f/10. has anyone seen anything like it?

thanks.

I have a p100 and it does the same thing, just my stains are in different places. Its not on the exterior of the lense, but I even had it sent in and it wasn't cleaned off. I'm pretty sure its on the inside of the lense casing, but what to do about it?

well... I'll send it to them again and again while the problem persists and warranty lasts. ;)


not much else we can do... and I'm sorry, but I'm glad to hear you have the same problem. good luck. :D
