hey guys, I just bought and received a new Olympus XZ-1 from an online retailer yday but i notice that under certain lighting/settings some fuzzy lines would appear as per photo attached below

is this normal? would greatly appreciate everyone's opinion n comment as i have a few more days to get 1-to-1 replacement or a refund, thanks!

Just change 1 to 1.

so it's actually faulty?

i experienced this on my lumix camera when exposed to bright light source. but when take photo, the lines are not recorded in the image. you could check this link regarding the olympus xz-1. looks like it's a normal phenomenon link , due to the CCD sensor

Try to capture in bright day. See if present problem still happen.

is this the photo taken or only happen when you half pressed shutter button? if it's the latter then it's normal for dc

i supposed it's the characteristic then

so far only encountered this at night or indoor, nvr saw it appearing during daytime/outdoor

indeed only happen when it's half pressed

well, i guess i have nthg to worry about?

yup it's only happen under low light condition with strong light in the frame, like light car lights & street lights. your camera is normal dun worry

Well thanks everyone for chipping in! First-time digital camera user

Guess I can close this topic already then!
