Me too Mike. For all of you wondering what he's talking about, a couple weeks ago I had a little tiny spider somehow crawl INSIDE my camcorder then died right in the middle of my lens. Apparently he's stuck in a small death web or something. I tried to blow him out with pressurized air to no avail, shook the camera, etc. When I have the camera on wide angle to what they call "normal eye" there's a big brown piece of cow dung right in the middle of the picture. But when I zoom it in the telephoto over powers him and makes it go away. Not a good time to send off my camera for cleaning so I've just been zooming everything in and hoping for the best. Some people like the real close-up footage but I really prefer the normal eye so you can see the surroundings and get the whole picture. BW
