We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them.
We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling—we get it.

As someone working in the broadcasting world, mostly in sports. The smudge is probably on the inner part of the camera. So there isn’t really a way to fix it quickly as the cameras are heavy af and it takes more than 20 minutes to get to actual camera. Because you have to turn off the camera from the broadcasting truck, wait for the lens to be cool enough to be taken off, then take the lens off, putting the lens down somewhere safe which is probably not right next to the camera depending on locations, have someone ready with the lens wipe, then get to the camera body to clean it. Then you have to reassemble the camera and test it to even see if that fixes the problem. That fix alone would take 30 minutes and that’s if it even works! But also that looks more than a smudge to me. It looks like the lens was scratched or burned with something to make those markings but I can’t be 100% sure.
So you’ll have to deal with it for this game and hopefully it’s fixed for the next time they use the camera. Also you can’t use the other cameras as they all probably have different zoom capacity and that are used for replay and other things that the director/producer/insert any person that is important on a show behind the scenes would not be willing to give up so that a camera can be game cam.

Thought it was my TV at first until they changed camera angles and then it disappeared. Then I realized it’s definitely the camera.
