Thanks. I've used the Visible Dust dual-fluid kit in the past, and had great success with it. However, although I might try it again, I'm mentally and financially preparing myself for the prospect of sending the camera to Fuji for sensor cleaning, as the problem might be a speck of dust (if not more as well) under the glass covering the sensor.

I have a similar problem with my X-S10 (as posted elsewhere on this forum). I did not know the sensor has a protective glass covering. I assume this would be true for the X-S10 also.

This makes me a little less worried about accidentally scratching it; however, as noted above, the speck could be UNDER the glass.

I’ve got a similar one on my Xpro 3, which I have found I can ignore accept when its in bright light. I do clone it out when i see it. I had thought about taking to a local shop, but they are not Fuji experts.

With photos, the spot doesn't pose much of a problem if one is okay with cloning it out. However, in my case, it was persistent in video, even at wider apertures.

The update to this scenario is that I have sent it off to Fuji repair in New Jersey. I'm advised to expect ca. $250, but such comes with the territory.
