I cannot take clear pictures but everything else seems fine

About a week ago it started and i have no idea why it wasn't dropped or harmed in any way.
the LCD screen is clear and i can still take movies and the play back is fine. when i try to take photos the LCD screen looks fine but then once i've taken the picture the image is all distorted with white hazy covering.
Did i hit a button or change a setting without realizing it or is it just busted?

    I am having the same problem but with a pink/red hazy covering. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi my Ixus II displays old images fine, takes movies fine but has developed a fault when taking new pictures. The 'live' images on the LCD screen appear OK but once the picture is taken and I switch to 'view', the picture is all pale and has white horizontal stripes at regular intervals across it.
    If I take the card out and view on a computer, they are the same!
    I took the battery out, pressed ther reset button, removed the backup battery too.No different.
    As the direct view (before one snaps a picture) and movie option only use low resolution, I had the idea to reduce the resolution of the camera to low. Still the fault persists. I took the SD card out and painted a black square with photoshop in the centre of one of the dud picuures. I then put the card back in the camera. Stripey all round like before but the square is OK.
    Is this a CCDfault or data transfer bus or internal buffer memory problem?
    Please help....Dave

88 chevy 2.5l, gets fuel will not start

An engine shut not backfire unless the timing is off, it has a burnt valve or an exhaust restriction. Since the crank sensor was the catalyst for the problem, I would again check it. It definately affects the timing for the fuel and spark

Headlight problems

n I've noticed that not all bulbs are the same and they have voltage drops causing one to burn out sooner. Replace both at the same time and if you can find a two pack that would be better.

I bought a Nikon D90 a few weeks ago. It worked

Your camera may be faulty. Or you might not be "in focus". The D90 in any of the auto modes won't take a picture if the 'in-focus indicator' isn't on. If that indicator is blinking, then it means that it is not able to focus on the subject. It's all in the user manual.

Dishwasher wan't fill with water

The water valve may look fine but the solenoid may not be opening to allow water in. You said that everything else works fine except no water supply to the dishwasher. This sounds like a bad soleniod valve. Check for continuity on the valve with an ohms meter after you start it. Be careful.

Delay to see the picture

Your power supply is going south, I have an old sony with the same problem. The voltage level drops and does not have enough 'kick' to start. It will work better when it is warm. The module will need to be replaced.
