USAThis symptom (CCD smear) is not a camera defect.
When the camera receives strong incident light on
focal plane, the image signal temporally over flows
internally inside the image capture device (CCD), and
appear as vertical lines.
However when the shutter is released, the amount
of the light coming into the image capture device is
controlled by the aperture and shutter speed;
Therefore the recorded image does not show
vertical stripes. This problem is usually noticeable
during framing or movie mode.
