If dust passes close to the lens it will try to bring it into focus. Focusĭigital cameras also focus in a different way to a 35 mm camera. If a photo-site receives a glare from a dust particle close to the lens then it can create an orb effect. These are sensitive to light and the brighter the light that hits a single diode the bigger the charge sent to the cameras computer chip. The sensor in a digital camera (called a CCD or CMOS) is a collection of light-sensitive diodes called photo-sites. A digital camera does the same but instead focuses the light onto a semiconductor device that records the image electronically which is then processed by the cameras chip into digital data. However digital cameras can also cause other strange effects- and particularly because of the way the lens on a digital camera focuses in a different way to that of a 35 mm film camera.Ī film camera has a series of lenses to focus the light onto the film. Where images are captured electronically, it’s harder to explain away orbs, weird streaks of light and transparent faces. In a digital camera ,you do not get light seepage that could cause glare effects. You would expect that because a camera uses no film that the image would be perfect and without any flaws at all.

These, of course, must not be confused with optical effects such as retinal fatigue, which of course would not show up on a photograph. Many people believe that these are spirit lights and indeed I have seen these with the naked eye around people’s auras. One of the most common effects we see on ‘ghost pictures’ is an orb.
