When I take a picture it has horizontal lines (like a woodgrain) throughout and the colours are very extreme. This doesnt show up before I take a picture. Ive tried changing memory cards and using different settings but it doesnt fix it. Does it need repair?

I have the same problem, but it disappears when zooming. Try zooming in
all the way first - the camera will work even though it's not zoomed in
fully though.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix the problem.
By bringing up the camera information display (see below), I get the
messages "SUB ERR 0000" (probably indicating no error) and "MAIN ERR
FF30" as the two bottom lines. So it appears the camera knows something
is wrong.
By setting the camera to raw mode and viewing the raw images (I used http://www.rawstudio.org/, but try any of the programs from the list that uses "dcraw" at http://cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/) it's revealed that the error is
already present in the raw CCD image (but only when not zooming). To
set the camera to raw mode, see the full instructions at the address
below.
To bring up the camera information display (instructions from http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.a...
Press and hold menu button (standard menu will appear in the display)
Press and hold shutter button
(at this point, both the menu button and shutter button are still held down)
Then (while continuing to hold the menu button and shutter button down throughout the sequence below):
2xTELE (press right zoom button twice)
1xWIDE (press left zoom button once)
(a blue information screen appears here)
