on the surface of the CCD, that's a picture sensor chip, inside the zoomunit there will some contamination such as dust or an other particle
The ccd surface must be cleaned by an camera repair center

Do the spots only occur when taking flash pictures and do the spots look like "soap bubbles" and appear in different places in each picture? If so, these are dust particles reflecting the flash back into the lens. It's a problem with all point and shoot cameras because the flash is so close to the lens.
You did not mention the model of your camera but I assume its a compact camera.
It happened to me once. I opened the camera, strip the cards and cleaned the lens.
But I warn you, its very annoying operation. You need shakeless hands and super focusing abilities. And also it takes time, need patience. Use mild cleaner not strong one. You may use a hand blower, this method is more simple, dont need to go through lens and strip entire cards etc. Just open the back of the camera and look for a cavity to put nozzle through to lens area and cross your fingers than blow it lightly with hoping the dust gone. :)
Well, not sure if you got it resolved yet but the same thing happened to me. Brought it back and got it fixed under warranty. You'll most likely see more gray circles appear over time. They don't affect the picture but they are annoying. Cheers Dan
