Flashes of Panic

It looks like my camera is suffering, and as a result, I don’t have (m)any photos from Japan. This is one of the ones I took before I gave up, of Fukuoka harbor from my hotel window.

I had hoped that the problem was just the LCD on the back, but since the actual photos show the distortion as well, now I’m thinking it’s somewhere near the CCD—either a distortion above the CCD, or a weak connection between the CCD and the rest of the system.

This has been a good camera for me, so even though it’s possible to get something smaller/sharper/faster/newer, I’m going to see if I can get it fixed, first. If it can’t be fixed, I’ll probably look for another Pentax this summer.
