Some images 'cool' some 'warm'

Hi there,

That issue is related to "white balance". Sounds like the camera is not measuring white balance correctly in order to determine the best setting for each shot, and is flipping between correct and incorrect settings, even in the same conditions!

I could go into detail here, but really it is much easier and perhaps better explained with images on many websites. Here is one example:

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/white-balance.htm

As for a solution, well obviously the camera is not working as it should, but you could also try setting white balance manually if your camera allows it. The above site tutorial will give you an idea of how to do that and what setting to use.

Sony DSC-T1 Still shots are washedout...almost completely white. But video recording works ok. I have checked every setting (0EV, Multi AF Focus, Multi Metering, Auto WB,OFF PFX, and default camera setup)....

Its's problem of ccd imager in your DSC-T1 camera and that part will be replaced.
Sony announced free of cost repair for subject problem. Click Sony CCD Support for details.

PS. Mine had the same problem, and I mailed it to Sony. They replaced it free of charge including shipping cost. BE QUICK! The free replacement ends in March.

Nikon d80 frame count

264 is the minimum number of shots you can fit onto the memory card. A shot with large areas of black or white uses less memory than a more complex image and so the camera recalculates the number of shots remaining and so the number appears to go back up to it's original value.

It could be that the battery isn't holding a charge anymore if you are using rechargeable batteries in you camera. Most of them have a short life to them. If you can get a hold of another one, see if that solves that problem.

Screen is white and doesn't display area being photographed. Can take pictures.

From camerahacker.com:
1. Hold camera firmly in left hand.
2. Smartly rap front of camera with knuckles of right hand on the "Cyber-shot" logo.
Worked for me :)

THIN VERTICAL WHITE LINE on my photos

If you have the images in your computer them click on the 'Add image to your post' instruction and follow the prompts. But from what you tell me this appears to be a CCD problem and the camera should be returned to the vendor if under warranty or contact the Customer support at Nikon other wise. for the camera to be replaced

SONY DSC-W1 - Images have a greenish / blueish tint to them

More likely than not its a WB issue. Were you using manual or automatic WB? sonys are known for not having the best auto WB mode :) Try using manual WB and see if that helps.
