Large Black smudge on all images/video

There is definitely a foreign body in the camera barrel. I am not sure how tightly the barrel is sealed, but I would guess that this has been in there since the camera was assembled. Static charges will cause it to move away and reappear. It may be reappearing in the same place all of the time because it might somehow be tethered to the barrel. My guess is that it is a tiny, almost microscopic piece of flashing that was left behind when the barrel was molded.

Well its back in a new spot now and with differing intensity

I think its time to send this to our resident tech Thunderdrones.

Is the consensus still in the barrel. But why is it moving around and sometimes nonexistent?
