Fixed spot on images taken with point and shoot camera

I used a canister / shop vac vacuum cleaner. Placed hose over lens assembly and the dust moved so it is not in the image.

Camera is fixed. At least until it moves again.

All you guys with the post and shoot cameras with dust in the lens this costs nothing and is a low risk to cause any further damage.

I should have thought of that when my pocket zoom got lint between two of the elements. (from being in a shirt pocket pretty much 24/7, just in case) Cost me $185 with shipping to get it taken care of. ($360 camera at Costco on sale for a holiday, 1 1/2 years old at the time.)
