Black spots in photos - Pentax *ist DL Digital Camera

A blck spot on your pictures, means there is something blocking light on the sensor. Could be dirt, but more lightly is there has formed some mould.
Because you can't open a compact camera to clean the sensor, I think you can't solve this problem. Opening the camera is no option, because without skills, tools and manual, you won't be able to put the camera together. A repair shop most likely won't start the job, because the repair will cost more than a new camera.
Sorry I can't bring a more positive story.

Have you verified that it is in the picture and not the screen by transferring the photos to your computer?


You way have some dust or lint that got on the lens if the photos have that problem.


Just take an eyeglass cloth and spray wither eyeglass cleaner, or just a little dab of alcohol and then wipe the lens clean.

Either the lens has a dirty spot or the CCD sensor is faulty or the sensor has a dirty spot on the surface of the sensor..

I switched on and off the machine. While the machine is running and the rollers are turning. I put a photo paper (which is thicker than normally paper on the manul feed section and make sure is far deep enough for the machine to run the paper in. Once the photo papert come out from the machine. The false paper jam 2 signal is re-set. I notice that there is a tiny black spot on the my blank photo paper. I guess, the black spot on the sensor created the false sensor effect as a paper there. Once the black spot was clear by the photo paper. It removed the false sensor and the machine back to normal state. I am very happy with the outcome.

It could be there is something wrong with the lens or it needs to be cleaned. Check that and let me know.

it sounds like a small pieces of dirt got inside the photo mechanism and may need to be clean proffesionally

I have a simular problem with my Sanyo. I know this sounds weird, but I have noticed if you shake the camera a little, the photo viewer comes back and pics can be taken. Also.. there is a spot that says 3x Digital zoom on the top of the camera, I also noticed if I put a little prssure on that spot with my fingers, the viewer comes back. I don't know if something might be loose, but thought maybe this information would help you.

my camera has got some black spot which is increasing day by day, but the photos and the videos are coming with good results,what to do?

Try cleaning the sensor

Something has probably got inside the lens,
