digital photo spots


 
 
I have a brand new minolta XT.
i have taken pictures indoors, low light, with flash, and bubbles/orbs appear in the picture. I take pictures outside somewhere else at night , and more orbs, hundreds. I know it is not the camera, when I see the flash of the camera, I saw these orbs with my own eyes with no glasses or anything!
i have had friends take pictures of me with their high end dig. cameras and same thing, these orbs/bubbles pop up near me. Anyone have a clue if these things affect everyone else? I hope its a camera thing, but I have heard these things are spirits or angels or something. I hope its a camera thing ! some people say its dust, I dont think so. And dust or stuff on the lens, it is clean , and new. it happens mostly in low light. but I have seen them on pictures in good lighting during the day? any ideas?..........

  It is caused by dirt/dust on the digital image sensor, or defective pixels in the sensor. But feel free to believe in spooks. ;-)
