I only have a point and shoot Canon A560 camera, but recently in my pictures there has been a dark spot, which im pretty sure is dust or something on the inside of the lens. I´ve wiped the outside of the lens and it still shows up, however depending on the setting of the camera, the spot is more or less prevalent.

You see it is very prevalent in Pic 1, but not so much in Pic 2, though it still shows up.

What can I do?? This spot is ruining my photos!

Not much you can do with a P&S besides sending it back to the manufacturer to get it cleaned out.

Not sure if it's going to be worth your while or if it's covered under warranty.

Dust probably got inside the lens via the zoom mechanism.

someone needs to take it apart and clean the insides.
I'd reccomend Athena Camera Repair on 17th ave.
I have no idea what it'd cost, but the guy down there is pretty reasonable, so he'd likely be able to give you a price before he hacks up your camera.
