Thanks for the info Orin.

Here is a brief item from Canon about the problem which only affects a few Canon camera models.

Note the the digital editing ‘fix’ should be similar – the cause, however is excess oil inside the camera. I’m going to guess that you could also have spots where dust and oil combine.
