Dust spot

Jan 30, 2009

-   Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 digital pocket camera has half-dozen artifacts showing up on all pictures in the same location, wide-angle or zoomed. Artifacts are blurred when shooting wide angle, but become more sharply in focus when camera is zoomed out. Some are spots and some look like fibers. This implies there is junk inside of the camera near the lens.
Camera was purchased June 2008. Any ideas how to get it fixed would be appreciated. Has anyone tried to disassable and clean the inside of a digital pocket camera?-   BartoL
