I have a Canon Powershot SX740 HS and it’s in very new condition and I take very gentle care of it. After a few months of using it I noticed there a black dot/orb in the left side of all my photos (have tried it in multiple different settings). I’m assuming is something inside the lens that I can’t clean off because I have tried gently cleaning the lens with a lens cloth. The orb is darker when the camera is in manual and the orb gets lighter when the camera is in Auto. Please help! How do I get this out of my images. I’ve taken it to my local camera shop to make sure my lens is clean and it is. I think the dust or particle is in my sensor.
