I have dropped camera once, since after while clicking pictures at night in absolute dark, several round white small circles or spots are appearing on the image.But in full light area and in daylight pictures are perfectly fine. I just want to know whats the exact problem???Pls help me.My camera is Sony Cybershot DSC-H20.

If the LEDS are truly for night vision only, then they are most likely Infra-Red types, invisible to the human eye, but visible to camera sensor. A way to test if they are IR and working is to point another digital camera directly at the front of the security camera at night.
The cell phone or webcam sensor will see IR LED's as white spots.
As for this model coming with night vision, I don't know.

If these spots are in different places on each picture, then they are actually reflections of dust particles in the air from the flash being so close to the lens. If they are in the same place on each picture, then they are indeed water spots on the lens.

Hello there

From the start menu, left click on control menu (these are the steps for XP yours might be a little different). Then on the dialog box that pops up, left click on the "Printers and other Hardware" option.

Another dialog box will pop up. Left click on the scanners and cameras option to bring another dialog box up. From there double click with the left mouse key on the icon for your camera. This will bring up the "Scanner and Camera Wizard."

Left click the next key to get to the image capture screen, position the camera and left click on the word "Take Picture" below the image. The image will show up on the scrolling menu next to the image capture part of the box. Select it (left click the small box next to the image to get a check mark in the box) or use the select all option to get all pictures, then left click the next key.

Select the picture destination from the drop down menus that appear and hit the next key to save. The next dialog box will ask what is to be done with the pictures. Select the option in front of the correct choice and hit the next key to bring up the final screen.

From here the picture location will be able to be opened. Left click on finish if finished or select the other appropriate choice. The images should be on the computer and ready to work with.
If there is no scanner and camera wizard available try the next option(if you are using iphoto plus).

Open iPhoto Plus and left click on the file option. From the drop down menu, scroll down to acquire and select source. Left click on select source.

From the dialog box that pops up, select your particular camera by left clicking on the down arrow key and scroll downward until your camera is found. Select the camera from the list by left clicking on it and then left click the ok button. (If your camera is already selected, this step may be unnecessary).

Now left click on the file button again select acquire and then left click on image. From the box that comes up make sure the radial button--the round area before the options--before the word "image" has a dark circle in it indicating it is selected. Then left click on the acquire button.

A dialog box will appear that is titled "acquire pictures from video". Position the camera for what picture is desired then left click on the capture button.

The picture will appear in a drop down menu on the other side of the video feed. Scroll down if need be and select the picture or left click the "select all" button if you would like all of them and then left click get pictures.

Now all the pictures should appear in iPhoto Plus. Save them to your computer with the save option or edit them at your leisure.

active night mode to take picture.

It sounds like you have a photosensor that is going bad. If it happens 80% of the time, it is time to fix it or repair it. I have a friend who can fix cameras, he is cheaper and faster than the manufacturer.

I had the same problem too! When zoomed in, those spots become very visible. I try hitting it off but it's still there.. can anyone help us???

1. Upon startup lens emerges but when screen appears it is white whereas it normally displays whatever the lens sees. When the shutter button is pressed the camera will focus and take a white picture which can be deleted. The camera does not flash although flash is set to automatic and photo taken in a dark room. Camera flashes (weakly) with flash set to manual on. Lens is unobstructed and appears to be perfectly normal. Camera was not dropped. Batteries have been changed.

it could be your geting pics of the dead you no like sols an stuff i us to get that an i asked my friend an thats what he sed

The bright, round spots appear to be flare caused by internal reflections of the lights in the lens. Dust on the sensor blocks light, and hence appears dark.

Vijian - I own several digital cameras, including the DSC-55. I have not experienced this problem with my camera. Try two things......adjust to "low" regarding your camera's flash setting, and secondly, put a piece os scotch tape over the flash and see if this helps. Be careful not to cover your light sensor on the front of the camera's housing.
