Green screen My coolpix 5700 is displaying a distorted green screen in both lcd screen and the viewfind, but when picture is taken the image turns out not good, but not as bad either. Please help.

Does the distortion affect the pictures too? I mean do you see the distortions on the pictures when you transfer them to the computer? Please answer this question as it is important to determine whether its an image sensor fault or a problem with the screen itself

This is a very common problem which affected millions of cameras manufactured using Sony's 5MP CCD. The symptoms you describe are absolutely classic but to confirm it try viewing older shots taken before the problem arose using your camera's LCD: they should display as normal.

Contact Sony in your country: they have been offering free repairs for this problem, my 2004 Sony DSC-V1 was repaired under the scheme last summer.

When you get your camera back, be on the lookout in the few months afterwards for what look like water droplets on every picture. These indicate a faulty repair where the technician has got something on the CCD and Sony won't accept responsibility for further remedial work after a certain mount of time. I found out the hard way when I noticed this second fault last month but Sony said I'd left it too long before notifying them!

CCD problem if the pics are also with green ghost image if u see on PC then my friend see if that camera is on nikon service advisory otherwise they won't cover it after warranty if thats not in list if, luckily if on list then they will replace it free of charge try it on their website

Contact Nikon. There is a known componant problem with this camera (see Nikon onlin support page ). It will be repaired free of charge even if it is out of warantee.

Gimbo again. Think LCD damaged will need to repair. Pics. as normal when viewed or printed.
Why has nobody commented?
How much to replace screen? Any ideas?

You might have "color filter" settings. Turn the digital filters off. Here is what manual at p72 says. "You can take pictures using digital filters. The filters consist of color filters such as red, blue and green, a soft filter that produces a fuzzy effect. Color filters Eight colors, black-and-white, sepia, red, pink, violet, blue, green and yellow, are provided for the color filters. When you select a color filter in the Digital Filter mode, the display on the LCD monitor is filtered with the selected color, and the pictures are taken in that color."

http://www.fixya.com/support/t128774-green_screen has the solution. It is probably a CCD burn out, but link exists for free repair (above)

the ony way is to get the CCD replaced with a new one. Contact NIKON for free replacement as this comes under manufacturing defect.

It's a free Nikon recall for a defective CCD sensor. Go here and find the Nikon link: http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds.html

i am sorry to say that your camera has a broken CCD.you need to get to replace the CCD with a new one
