Colored Shapes Showing up on my pictures

[Sharonind1279]

I have a Canon EOS Rebel. Recently when I'm taking pictures gold, green & red hexagon shapes show up randomly in the pictures. Can anyone help to let me know how to fix this? Thanks.

What lens do you have?

Curious, do you leave that watermark on all your shots?

A lens hood will help... but in the absence of a hood ... just shield front of the lens from direct sunlight (even if that means holding a sheet of paper just out of the frame to shade the front of the lens.).

I believe that a hat is the sunshade of choice. 8^)
