Most likely a speck of dust on the lens. Shooting into the sun is always tricky.

Looks like scattered/reflected light inside the lens assembly, aka lens flare,
If it is always there, no matter where/how you compose the shot, then yes, more than likely dust or debris on the lens. But I would think it would appear "dark"

If it was just on that one shot, then I still go with the former, lens flare...

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. You may try to clean the stock filter of the Mavic Air using a dry cloth to see if this would persist. May we know if this particular yellow point will always be located on that part when shooting towards the sun? Please let us know for further check. Thank you for your support.

Looks like lens flare - you can try using a lens hood but I'd just live it

I find flying into the sun with my Mavic Pro would sometimes cause issues with obstacle avoidance triggering in a false alarm. where the drone would come to a screeching halt. Luckily I was still in connection otherwise there's no telling what could have happened if I didn't steer the Mavic Pro back safely commanding  it to ignore the sun...

First of all, thanks for all your coments. I enjoy all of then.
If I turned to the left (or right), the yellow point slowly disappears from the screen of my phone. In others words, when I lost the focus to the sun, the yellow point disappears. Iam sure that the problem is caused for a “sunlight reflection”. I will make more attempts, and after this, I will tell us my results.

Something I forgot to coment ..  I attempted to increase the shutter speed,  and when I did this, the yellow point became more yellow .. perhaps ..  depth of field looked realy dark and this maked that the yellow point looks more yellow .. I don’t know ..

Thanks all of us, for help me with this theme
