That looks like a dirty lens to me. Try blowing it off with compressed air first. If that doesn't work, use 91% isopropyl alcohol (available at most pharmacies) and a q-tip. Moisten the q-tip with alcohol, and GENTLY wipe the lens down. After the remaining alcohol evaporates, you should notice an improvement.
