Hello everyone, I am an amateur photographer (pretty much just starting to learn). I have a brand new SD870 and think I might have some problems wtih it. The LCD screen often gets a fuzzy blue line that goes across the screen, often pouring from an object in the screen. Is this normal, or should be returning the camera?
The second issue is that most of my pictures (all default auto settings) have those little balls of light in them. Is there something I can do to reduce these?
Last question: Is there a good site for a beginner like me that explains all the terms?

Thanks everyone!

that "fuzzy blue line", is it only when you view them on your camera or its still there when you print them/downloaded them? i think the "little balls of light" you're seing are dust particles in the air reflecting the flash. a good site? you already found it! ;)

It is normal. sometimes you might see some blue light on your lcd but image that you took should not have it.
