Probably doesn't matter whether it's on the back of the lens or on the 
sensor filter.  If it's dust it's inside what's supposed to be a sealed 
camera.  I did partially disassemble a Canon P&S to clean some dirt out 
of the zoom mechanism but I had some instructions I'd found on the web. 
  I have no idea what it would be like to disassemble this camera.
