Blemish issue with Canon SX10IS

[torypaulsmith]

Hello Everyone,

I have a Canon Powershot SX10IS (fantastic camera) that is almost a year old now. I've taken about 2000 pictures with it, and I am just now having an issue with it for the first time.

I went out a few weeks ago to take some pictures and about halfway through I noticed a blemish that was recurring in each photograph. I thoroughly cleaned the lens with a microfiber cloth and kept shooting, but the blemish was still there. It doesn't appear to be on the outer surface of the lens, so I don't know where it came from.

Below is a picture with the blemish in it:

The blemish is the translucent, hexagonal shape in the upper left-hand corner. I should note that it is also visible when I am taking the pictures. The blemish changes size when I focus.

Does anyone know what this is or how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Tory

I see it, but don't know what to tell you. If you have cleaned the lens, i'd think it's something internal. How about a all to Canon?
