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?

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.
