Green "Sunspot?"

[DisasterPastor]

I'm new to drone and doing sky video shots so if this is common knowledge I apologize. I sometimes get a small green "orb" type spot across my video as I do a pan or 360 shot that includes the sun. Is this avoidable and if so how? Thanks for the help.

You might like to try a google for "lens flare", you probably find quite a few threads about it.

It's just internal reflections in the lens. Can fix in post...

How can I fix it. I've seen a few like cloud/fog shadows pop up, but the green dot goes from one side of the screen to the next. Anyway to avoid either, or just is what it is?

Ha, sometimes I intentionally place a few "orbs" into my video for special effect. LOL

Wonder if a lens hood helps a little to get rid of the green dot, but I doubt whether it would make any difference. I have the same issue with the M4P when flying against the sun. A real shame because sunrises/sunsets are stunning in the mountains where I am. The only thing that has helped to get rid of the green dot is to change the angle using the gimbal dial and with a bit of flight altitude trial-error.

There are videos of folks being able to remove the green dot on Premier Pro and After Effects, but wonder if there is a simple way to remove the green UFO (Oops, UAP) in post, in FCPX.
