Unfortunatley, they don't make TV sets as dependable as they used too because they don't want them to last. Your problem with this unit is that your panel is going out. Sharp does not supply panels because they are not cost effective to replace. I hope this helped your cause.

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, sometimes with lines, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

This can be corrected. You will need to use caution. Pull the back cover off. You will see a flyback transformer. You will note, that a suction cup is connected to the back of the picture tube. Follow the red lead and you will see the flyback transfomer. You will also see, two potentiometers on this transformer. The top knob will correct the focus you are talking about. The bottom knob will increase or decrease the voltage to the picture tube. Just work with the top pots. It will say focus on the knob. Turn back and forth as you watch the lettering of an informational program. This will be helpful. Thanks for asking and show all hands of support!

Yes you have the incorrect setting the 1/15 in red is showing you the shutter speed and if you are hand holding this and composing/shooting using the LCD screen there is no way on this earth you are going to have a sharp image. The F50 (I think this is far beyond the capabilities of this camera) is showing you the aperture F32 might be more realistic but none the less the aperture is closed way down to maximum stop down. Until you understand your camera more I'd suggest switching to the "Auto" mode it's a little camera icon and that way two things will happen. First you will get a picture and second the more you use it the more familiar you will become with it.
Also I hope you purchase a Memory card, your camera takes the SD type, make sure the card lock is in the correct position see diagram and that you format the new card check your manual for formatting instructions. Read your manual and go make some great pictures.

Dear juanvillar46 I found this important information to explaing better about the hand color and meannings


Understanding blur warning icons If the feature is turned on (see ), a picture blur warning icon is displayed during quickview and review.
Green - Picture is sharp enough for an acceptable 4 x 6-inch (10 x 15 cm) print.

Yellow - Picture may be sharp enough for an acceptable 4 x 6-inch print or sharpness is not determined.

Red - Picture is not sharp enough for an acceptable 4 x 6-inch print.

Your Rating is very important for me

In that case does this color problem occur on all inputs? If not then please make sure that the connections, especially the red connector, are clean and tight
