c-765 problem HELP!

[popsecret]

My c-765's pictures and LCD has a round blurred spot about 1/6th of picture in the middle off centered slightly. I have cleaned everything carefully. I can see it thru the viewfinder also. It's there and is showing up in every picture. What is it? Anyone have an idea?

Sure looks to me like dust inside the camera--doesn't usually happen with sealed cameras like this, but it's possible. If you're sure you've cleaned the front lens properly and it isn't damaged, you'll probably have to send it in to have it cleaned/fixed. --I guess that's another reason to consider moving up to a dSLR like the E-500 or new E-330 -- they have the dust shaker on them!

I can see a spec of something on the lens on the underside if I hold it at an angle to the light. Is there any way for me to open the camera and dust it off. How hard can it be? Thanks
