Yep, looks like a dirty sensor. I bought a cheap sensor cleaning kit from Henrys. It comes with a special solution and these special wipes with a telescopic handle thingy that you can easily use to wipe the sensor. I first blasted it with some compressed air but you gotta be careful how to use it as those cans can shoot out liquid instead of air if not held right. Anyway, you might as well get used to cleaning the sensor because it's gonna get dirty again. It's just how it is.

Yep, it's a dirty sensor alright. I've had this occur several times on the NX11, so it's a pretty routine fix using a sensor-cleaning kit (or preferably the Arctic Butterfly as Allan suggested). Yes, it's a fact of life unfortunately.

Edit:  I enjoy Roger Cicala's blog for a whole lot of reasons.  Roger's Sensor-cleaning howto is just one of them.
