The touch screen can be replaced by a tech savy user and the part is
available on common auction websites. There are also independent Camera Repair places that carry the part - Camera Repair NYC

The actual working part of the camera is not affected as the picture is taken properly. But the display part of the camera is only affected.The wetness might have penetrated across the sides of display screen to the inner parts.The display part needs replacement..
Just turn the dial wheel behind the shutter button to the picture where it show like a film camera. and you are ready to shoot video. Below is the picture of the icon that you need to find. Hope this helps.
You may already be doing this, I don't know, but on most newer cameras, you have to push the "take picture" button down half way to let it focus then press it the rest of the way to take the picture. It wouldn't hurt trying to see if that works.
The Sony P72 should produce excellent photos.
You stated that you had just purchased the camera which may be a clue to the problem.
With a film camera, you push the shutter button and bang you have a picture.
With a digital camera you push the shutter button and about 1.5 seconds later the focus locks and then 0.2 seconds still later the picture is captured.
Since you are not accustomed to that shutter delay, you are probably moving the camera.
Most digital cameras will let you push the shutter button down half-way to achieve focus lock. Then press the button the rest of the way down to take the photo (remembering there is a 0.2 second delay).
When you plan to snap that picture, be prepared to be perfectly still for 3 to 4 seconds.
Try taking some pictures with your camera sitting on something solid (or a tripod) and see if the photo quality doesn't improve.
There is a good 9 page review of the P72 camera at:
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_reviews/p72.html
One of the pages contains sample photos.
Select one of the photos and click on it.
When the photo finishes loading (large file), then RIGHT click on the photo and click "Save photo as".
Save it to your hard drive.
Print that photo on your printer. That will give you the chance to see how a known good photo, will print on your printer.
