Has anyone any idea why my camera has all of a sudden lost it's focus. All the colours seem like vertical lines. Is it worth repairing or is it totaly .....broke.

Does it look out of focus when you print your pics or display them on your PC or is it just the screen on your camera that looks funny?

Prior to taking a piccy one can just make out the scene but it is distorted.

Try transferring one to your pc or print one off, it maybe that it's just your screen that's faulty and it won't affect what your camera actually "sees", just what you see on the screen.
If not then it sounds like it could be a sensor problem or the lens has been knocked.

Repairs can cost £50 upwards depending on model and what spares are needed,what make/model is it? if it costs less than £150 your probably better off getting a new one.

We have had it quite a few years Fujifilm f401 finepix

this is a piccyu i just took.

nice curtains :)up

That's what i mean Dewi, the curtains are cream.

Sell it as art, you'll make the money for a new camera in no time :) 

no need to thank me.

I think you need a new one

Oh Silo, so you are talking now huh....

I'd say the giggling sprocket is loose.......

Whoooosh, the what?

They were great in their day but I don't think it would be economical tbh.
Technology moves so fast and although they were the bees knees when they came out you could get a camera twice the quality for half its price now.
Camera manufacturers don't want you keeping your camera for years they want you to get a new one every christmas and so they put parts in them that fail after a while.
If you still want to persevere with your Fuji then you could give these people a ring  http://www.newtonellis.co.uk/  and they could give you some idea of cost, I have used them on a few occasions and they were very good.
They used to sell refurbished cameras as well so they might have a finepix that's like yours if you're keen on keeping the same type of camera.

If all else fails bang it down hard on a table, it might just knock it back into line, it can't make it any worse.

Thanks, very much appreciated.

My wife has just informed me that i am definately intoxicated because i can't stop laughing after the picture of the car post.
Could be a long night for her.
