Hi.
I own a second hand Canon A80. Recently, I think during the transport,
it has been damaged and doesn't shot the pictures the way it used to be.
In shooting mode the image on the LCD display is vertically blurred,
pink in dark. The pictures that are taken look same way. Display works
fine, photos before the malfunction are displayed correctly, also are
options, icons and menus. These are photos that are presenting the problem:

Camera is quite old and not worth so much, so before taking it to
commercial service I will ask a friend, who deals in electronic but is
not a specialist in cameras, to take a look. I will be grateful for any
hints and clues.
Regards

I've repaired all too many Canon cameras for the infamous E18 (jammed
optics) problem and have seen images that look something like that.
The problem was a loose connector. I don't know which connector fixed
it as I re-seated all of them. Open the camera per this procedure:
<http://www.fixya.com/support/t102982-e_18_problem>
and simply wiggle all the connectors until they are properly seated.
Also look for mechancial damage, corrosion, dust, and dirt.
Read through:
<http://www.fixya.com/support/p294020-canon_powershot_a80_digital_camera>
and see if there are any similar problems. Also check the A70, A60,
etc. for comments as the cameras are quite similar inside.
