I have been using my cannon powershot S1 IS for two years now without any problem.But now it has deveoped a problem. When I power it on in shooting mode, whole LCD screen /viewfinder shows completely blurred view of the subject in a frame and same blurred image is stored.
I have tried all the settings, focus/zoom changes but to no avail. Please, suggest what should I do to get rid of this problem.
Thanks very much!

Its possible that there is a CCD issue with your camera. I've been reading more and more people are having CCD issues with the S1-IS. The CCD is the part of the camera that captures the image, and usually they distort or do some funky things with the pictures. Its entirely possible they would knock something out of focus.
