Question about Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera

White background in real world turns purple or magenta in digital photo

My slightly over one-year old Canon PowerShot A85 still works okey except that anything white in the real world becomes purple or magenta in the digital photo. Has anyone experienced this problem and found the solution?

Problem with A85 Digital Camera

You have a bad CCD. Canon will fix it for free - here's the website link...
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&fcategoryid=221&modelid=10468&keycode=2112&id=48264
Call the 800 number. Originally the A85 wasn't included in the repair recall, but they added it in 2006. I had the same problem. Hope this helps!

Canon Technical Support on their website. I have come across this before with this model a funamental fault perhaps. But at three years- time for a replacement I think Try Canon web site support first.
