I am also having the same problem
It started with intermitent problem, like first picture is over exposed, but subsequent one are ok.
But now, under day light the pictues all shows horizontal lines
Went to samsung service center and they says it may be due to the " barrel " that is not working, which does not adjust the light exposure accordingly.
Repair cost is more that the worth
anyone knows how to change the " barrel " ?
Please email em at [email protected]
thanks

Hello.I recently purchased a Samsung i6 Camera that had vertical lines and a blurry picture.I bought it cheap because of this off of Ebay.It was an easy fix.
When I removed the front cover,there was a flat ribbon cable with a black connector at the bottom,towards the middle at the bottom of the camera.This connector holds the ribbon cable TIGHT,so as to keep a strong connection/contact.Well,there is a black piece that snaps open and closed.OPEN for removing the cable,CLOSED for keeping the cable TIGHT.This connector had obviously came loose and was OPEN,thus the LCD was'nt getting the proper signals to function the LCD.I simply snapped the black piece back down into place,powered it on, and VOILA! the screen worked perfectly!I put a small piece of tape over the connector so it would'nt come un-connected again.Its worked fine,this was the solution.I've included a couple pics to show you the connector that comes loose.
Now,its TRICKY finding all the screws that disasemble this camera.2 are hidden under the pop-off piece that says MEGA 6.0, and 2 more are under a small black plastic cover on the other side.
And you should be sure to write down on paper where what SCREW goes where,as they are different sizes and MUST be put back in the proper place.If you need any help with finding where some of these screws are located,e-mail me at [email protected]
I'll help you with the disassembly the best I can.This worked for me and may or may not work for you.I buy,repair,and resell digital cameras as a hobby on Ebay and I'm willing to help out where I can on the simpler repairs on digital cameras.

Problem is EXACTLY as gippper describes. Some photos are perfect but others have pale horizontal lines as if looking through a window blind. Which photos are OK or not seems to be entirely random. I've also tried it with various SD cards and even when the SD card is removed, to eliminate this from the problem. My only hope seems to be an expensive repair or to dump it? - Unless someone know different....
exact same problem and still waiting for samsung to respond
