Default clening the GL2 lens - inside :s

I have the Canon GL2 and I've been cleaning the lens.
I noticed there is still a smudge on the lens, but actually it appears to be on the inside.:s

I've not got my manual with me. Has anyone got any ideas of how to approach this?
It doesn't look like its easy to take the lens cover off...

?

I think the lens is detachable, the smudge may be on the back of the lens.

SUperfly, the GL2 I have found to be excellent. For the price you can't beat it.
The only thing I am not happy with is the poor quality still images (1.2 Megapixels). But then if you wanted stills you should use a digital camera.

But on the whole I would say go for the GL2.
