Hey guys, I just got a Powershot G7 with a 2.5" LCD. Now, I am very satisfied with the photo quality, but I was wondering if any of you owners have ever seen pinkish lines on the LCD when focusing on bright objects (lightbulbs, bright sky, etc.). I have no problems with the photo output, but I get kind of annoyed by these pinkish lines. Prob is u can see it on video mode.

Is this normal? Or should I return this?

If it happens only when you point to a bright light source, then this should be normal. Your camera CCD is overdosing on photons, so some of it spills over into other parts of the CCD

look more like a CCD problem....try call canon to verify the problem..

Yeah it does happen only when i point it on a bright light source. So I guess its normal? I'm confused though, is it the CCD or the LCD that is at fault here?

This effect is called blooming. Check here and here for a bit more explanation.

Edit: Just search for CCD blooming in your favourite search engine.
