problem with dsc-w570 white lines against the left side of the screen?

im not sure what this is but my camera was working fine but then i recently found when i was recording some loud music that the left side of the screen has these white lines theve increased in size taking up a 16th of the screen just wondering how i could get it sorted or will it affect my general picture Cheers.

Hi, welcome to the Sony Forums

I'm not sure if that's a malfunction or simple electronic interference. I've seen similar things on video footage of power tools or someone using a hammer very close to the mic; whether this is normal for a W570 would depend on the type of interference that you're getting.

Can you link to an uploaded clip showing the problem, eg on YouTube? That would be a great help.

Cheers

its not so much a filming issue i think it is literally just the screen ive attempted taking some photos with my phone as i literally have no other recording equipment in my house. as you can see the left hand side has a range of white lines of which dont affect the intial photos or filming but do worry me somewhat.

cheers for taking a look

Hello king_scully

As long as the lines are not appearing when you view the photos/videos on your PC or TV, then you are right to assume that it is just an issue with the built-in screen. These LCDs can be quite pricey to fix (unless the camera is under warranty) so it may be something that you can live with.

Thanks,
