Orbs in my photos

Almost every photo I take with my point and click Nikon has orbs in them.  Any way to make it stop?  I don't see any imperfections on the lens.  Surely I don't find that many ghosts when I use my camera!

Are the orbs in the same spot on every photo?

It sounds like you need to clean your camera lens.

Like PP asked, are the "orbs" always in the same spot?  Your lens might need to be cleaned, you may have locked pixels, or you could just be getting flare.  It's hard to say without an example.

Nope they seem to be in a different place each time. Here are a couple of examples.

Those could certainly be light flares from external light sources hitting your lens just right. That'd be my guess. Do you get them with every single photo though?

That looks like lens flare which is what happens when stray light hits your camera.  I use a DSLR & use a lens hood to prevent flare (unless I actually want it for creative purposes).

If it were me, I'd take the camera to the shop and see about getting the sensor cleaned.
