Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
I'm using a G6 with a 420ex with an Omni bounce on the flash. The flash is pointed striaght at the subjects, not in the 45degree bounce position.

It looks like lens flare to me. Possibly your flash reflected off of something causing this. I do see the flash reflected off the TV screen, but I'm not sure that would have reflected strong enough to cause this, but then again. The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it.

Also, as gardenstate says, it is common for compacts to record excessive amounts of dust in the environment that are close to the lens, due to the inherent nature of the great DOF involved.

Does it only happen when you use the flash in the same room and do you get it when using the camera outside for general use......??

Actually, I think what happened is the room had an overhead fluorescent light which was on, that coupled with the omnibounce pointed striaght ahead, I figure some light must have hit the front of the lens.

I took pics in another room that day and the overhead light was not on and no spots.
