Howdy
I bought my husband a 7D (I have one too), and he was taking photographs outside one day, a few videos. He noticed that magenta perpendicular lines began to appear in his shots. . . some of them looked as if he were taking the photographs through a window screen. He sent it in and they repaired it (god bless warranties).
In the other camera's absence, we put my Olympus "you can't break me" waterproof 1030 on a tripod and videotaped some construction happening at our house. The same lines began to form in the images as the heat increased. (we have this little dude for our class trips to the Boundary Waters and for helping my swim/training for triathlon).
The camera is fine now, but has anyone else experienced this sort of distortion? Any suggestions? (other than not using it when the heat is excessive--I'm talking 110+ heat indeces).
Thanks in advance
