Caused by a wide open lens (aperture) and a flash that is located close to the center of the lens.

In a compact camera not much you can do other than avoid these types of low-light situations.

Moving to an off-camera flash or using a tripod and a resulting longer shutter speed (smaller aperture) would also reduce this.
