Digital camera When trying to shoot a photo, the image appearing on the screen has suddenly started looking very distorted, as if stretched in different directions and is rainbow colored, very psychedelic. The image then recorded looks the same as on the viewfinder.
Changing new batteries doesn't help and I doublechecked the settings.
Help?

Some
symptoms of a defective CCD
(Charge Coupled Device) include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines,
blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being
recorded on the camera's flash card. When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light
coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of
tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The
number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated
charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step
occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an
analog-to-digital converter.
In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details: Bad CCDs. This, isn't a good new, but hope helps to solve it.
The Malfunction: Among
the CCDs used in the affected products listed above, it has been
confirmed that, especially under high-temperature/high-humidity
environments, the internal wiring may come undone in some places.
If
this defect occurs, the signal is not output from the CCD correctly
when in shooting mode, which results in symptoms like the following in
captured images. These symptoms can be confirmed on the LCD monitor. The
same symptoms may also occur in recorded images. * images do not appear * images appear distorted
If your Canon A85 shows distorted image in live view (camera mode) then its known problem of ccd imager chip failure. Check below image. canon offers free of cost ccd imager chip replacement in A85 model. Please confirm if its canon A85 camera or any other model to provide you more info.
If your images suddenly start looking blurry or distorted, try holding your camera up to the light. If your lens looks dirty, foggy or greasy, try applying lens solution with a lint-free cloth . Move the cloth in a circular motion until the lens dries. Do not apply lens-cleaning solution directly to the lens.
If your images are still blurry, check your shooting mode. If you are shooting closeups, make sure you are using the "closeup" mode. Try to get within 2 feet of your subject before you shoot the picture. images can look more blurry when you are a long way from your subject
