Originally posted by ben hobden You are probably right Genny. Im not really a camera person, so I dont really understand what actually causes lens flare. I guess its when a certain light hits the camera lens at a certain angle. Does it only happen with sunlight? I'm not really a shutter bug myself. But I do remember reading that they are caused by light from bright enough sources getting into the camera and bouncing around off stuff inside before getting to the sensor. So no, its not just with sunlight.
