Horizonal lines w/C5050 Olympus

I just purchased a C5050 Olympus camera w/a Compact flash disk. Everytime I take a picture, I get horizonal lines in the picture both in the lcd screen and when I print the pictures. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Going on a dive trip next week so I need to rectify the problem immediately. :?:

You need to get your camera repaired - it sounds like there is a problem with your CCD.

There is a chance that the CF card you are using is defective. You might try another card and see if the problem still exists. If it does then James's suggestion is probably your only alternative.

Nah. something is wrong with the electronic chip

i had the same problem.

bring it in for fixing
