When “White circular spots” appears in flash photos
These spots are caused by particles (dust, pollen, mist, floating object underwater, 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.
If you select 
(High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection, [Flash] is automatically set to [Off].
Notes
The flash strobes twice. The first flash adjusts the light quantity.
While charging the flash, 
is displayed. You cannot use the flash during burst shooting.
(Advanced Flash) can be selected only in [Intelligent Auto] mode. When 
(Advanced Flash) is selected, the maximum size of [Still Image Size] is [4M]. If [Still Image Size] is set to larger than [4M], [Still Image Size] is set to [4M] automatically.
