I have a NexGen. When I use it, then let it sit, when I pick it up, it has
round dark circles in the lens. Is this just the thing shutting down? I
just hit the button and it resets, but I was wondering about the spots.
It's particularly bothersome and a little scary if I put the hood on and
don't notice the spots first. ;-)

The spots are mentioned in the manual as being a common and meaningless
occurrence on power down. Just think of it as a warning to turn the
thing on again so you don't get flashed.
