Camera Grey

My camera's pictures have grey smudges on the pictures, what are they and how can i get rid of them?

The spots only show up on light one colored backgrounds, here is a picture

It's dust on the sensor, as others have stated.

First off, what kind of camera do you have? Is it a DSLR or a P&S?

If you have a DSLR, then it's pretty straightforward. There should be a "Mirror Lockup Mode" in the menus and I would first try using something like a Rocket Blower to blast the dust off the sensor.

That usually takes care of the dust. I would start there before trying the "Wet" cleaning methods.

If you have a Point and Shoot camera, you will need to send it in for repair / cleaning.

Oh, one more thing!

Do NOT set your camera to Manual Mode / Bulb mode to clean your sensor. The reason is that by doing it this way, your camera's sensor is charged and might attract dust via static electricity. I found this out from one of Nikon's design engineers. Always use the Mirror Lockup Mode, which will flip up the mirror, but won't activate the sensor.
