things get worst in brite liting. :sad:

OMG they r really bad ...better retire it and get a new cam

if r on very tight budget then too the cams start from 2.5k nowdays

Why lines? cause its old???

What are they saying in service center?

digimax service center

the lines r not coz its old but due to some issue in forming the image inside the cam

sorry for my late reply
@nac,yesterday was christmas so service centre was closed ,
digimax was oem but mine has a huge name 'samsung' carved on it so samsung guies wud mostly handle it. I wud be going 2day again to the service centre.
@sujoy , u r rite , i think this is mostly coz of dust.

got it fixed frm samsung techs :smile:

the Surgeons replaced the aperature and shutter unit(this one)

interesting to note that the f/8.4 aperture was a combination of a another aperture and a ND filter(may be to avoid diffraction?)

and basic f/2.8
