something else is wrong with the lens;
see the dark grey small cloud like spot?

I think I'm returning the camera


that could be a dust spot on the sensor, which is esily cleaned.

just Google sensor dust You will find lots of answers. If you are
uncomfortable cleaning it yourself, most local places will do it. the
going price in the US is anywhere from no charge, to $35.
