When aiming at any kind of bright light i get a vertical blue/purple beam coming from the bright light. It does not show up on the picture after shot but does when making a video. any ideas how to get rid of it?

When you snap a still, in simplest terms, the sensor is completely flushed before the picture's taken so you don't get it. But when you're continuously viewing the LCD or recording a video, the sensor is pretty much continuously being read so never gets "flushed". Jon

Do all new cameras have that now? like after 2005ish. I have a kodak camera that never had that issue. My mother has a new kodak that does the same thing as well. thats why i ask if its a new thing.

So basically for the camera i have the beams are issues i just have to deal with? Do all point and shoot cameras have the same issue?
