Will not focus looks like running paint on a wall
Sounds like a serious sensor problem.
This cannot be fixed by the consumer. If the camera is still under warranty, contact the seller or Kodak about repair or replacement. I found Kodak tech support extremely difficult to deal with and quite unhelpful but they did eventually repair it and it cost me only $15 for shipping.
They warned me that if I sent it to them and they found I had abused it, they would charge me $35 for analyzing the problem if I chose not to have it repaired but that the $35 would be deducted from the cost of repairs if I let them fix it. Fortunately that did not become a problem.
However, the first time I used it after it was fixed, I was on a beach in the Bahamas and the identical problem occurred again. Fortunately I had a film camera with me as a backup.
I left that $100 camera on the beach swearing I would never buy another Kodak AV product again. By then, the warranty had expired and I wasn't about to throw good money after bad by paying Kodak to fix it again.
Kodak sold it's AV group two or three years ago and they still use the Kodak name but they're not really Kodak.
The real Kodak film company still makes great film, photographic processing chemicals, etc. but they no longer deal in cameras, projectors, etc.
If the warranty has expired, it will likely cost you almost as much as you paid for the camera to get it repaired by Kodak. You might find another repair shop on the web that will do it a little cheaper. I use Precision Camera and have had good luck with them. www.precisioncamera.com.
They have flat rate quotes for repairs and it would not take long to get a quote from them. You can also do a web search for camera repair shops. There are many and you may find one that's local for you.

It may be the firmware or possibly the sensor itself. I would guess the firmware or processing engine.
SPRAY CLEAR GLITTER ON DRY WALLS -- Go to your local craft store and pick up a couple cans of spray glitter. You want a clear base so you can keep your current wall color. Look for a spray that says something like clear glitter finish or clear glitter sealer. Then just spray your walls with the clear glitter spray.
PAINT YOUR WALLS WITH GLITTER SPRAY PAINT -- If you want to change the color of your walls you can spray paint them with colored glitter spray paint so you get the painting and glitter done in one easy step. However, spray paint can be expensive and you may find it is difficult to get a nice even coat of paint. So this method would be good for a small room or an accent wall.
PAINT YOUR WALLS THEN ADD GLITTER -- This is the cheapest way to get the glittery look you want. Buy your wall paint in the color of your choice. Then buy tubes of glitter in the craft section. As you paint your walls, do one small section at a time. Then pour out a bit of glitter on a paper plate and gently blow on the glitter so it blows onto the freshly painted wall. The glitter will stick to the wet paint. Then move on to the next section and do the same thing! If you are applying two coats of paint to your walls add the glitter to the second coat.
