Every picture has spots - on the lens? On the sensor? How to fix it?

Every picture has spots - on the lens? On the sensor? How to fix it? There are 5 fuzzy spots on everything . They are not on the outside of the lens, and they are not on the LCD screen . How can I tell where to go to clean them? And then, how do I get there?

"I have several of this same model and it seems dust gets in within a year or less no matter how carefully I try to keep them in a pouch when using them. For me, the black specks are dust on the CCD. Here are two links I found useful in opening the back cover, getting to the CCD and cleaning it. A problem I’m not able to address is dust inside the lens assembly. Apparently the only solution I’ve seen is to replace the lens assembly.

and the YouTube video for a different model but the last few minutes are applicable for cleaning the CCD
