One time the defect was a shiny portion of a light switch that was reflecting sunlight, another time a door crack that was showing light.

Any ideas? What is this defect called? Is it a bad sensor or just a confused pic?

Thx for any help.

The camera is showing you what portion of the shot is full saturated - the sensor has recorded that portion of the image as pure white.

Try speeding up the shutter or stopping down the apperature. You can also lower the ISO number. But seriously,
