you sure it isn't a Camera used by J.J.abrams??? XD

I'd keep it. You could sell ANYTHING on Ebay with a camera taking pictures like that.

:D

Depends on the camera. DSLR, Digital, Phone?

If the lens is not removable or cleanable, your image sensor or glass might be junk.

Your camera got the Michael Bay syndrome.

Nono J.j. ABRAMS is lens flairs.
Michael Bay is EXPLOSIONS and FLAMES! :D

Just kiddin'. Must be some filter, or the settings.

Sell it to a white girl on Facebook?

I'd say that your car has clearly been possessed by the SPIRIT of the LORD.

Ohhhh blingy! Bear love sparkles!!

You sure that isn't some built in video effect that may have gotten switched on?

Seriously, you gotta have a little fun with this while you can. Get glitter pics of the ugliest junk you can find.

But a little help; what make/model camera? It's kinda like 'I cant find the ECU in my car' 'what kinda car' 'It's got tires, why do you need more than that?' (Yes I've been told that before )

It's an Olympus Tough, model TG-610

Looks like an affect from that site that blings out photos.

At the junkyard again, eh?

My eyes do that now, and according to the doctors, there's no fix for it. Don't know if it's the same regarding cameras. :P

Something appropriate for this pic and today's date:

It appears that the "sparkle" effects filter is enabled.

You can read about it in the owner's manual PDF (pages 29-30), which includes directions to turn it off.

Hey! You were right! It seems the goddamn thing idly reprogrammed itself while in my buttpack. That's slightly bizarre, and very annoying.

Sweet. Always nice to find it was an obscure setting and not dead hardware.

And, yes, it's possible for memory to get "flipped" which can result in all kinds of weird behavior, like settings turning on and off by themselves. This kind of thing is becoming more common these days as memory chips get smaller and more easily corrupted by cosmic rays and other natural radiation.

One thing specified in the manual is that when effects are enabled, the camera will save two copies of each picture -- one with the effects applied, and another without. If you took any photos you want to keep, the non-sparkly versions should actually be there on the memory card, but you'll have to search for them.

Swirl marks and scratches on the lens can cause that. Have you been wiping off dust with your shirt?

Uh....where's the steering wheel??

Well  Waccoon beat me to it, but all is well. This is why I have Canons.

i know this is late, but one thing I always recommend is pulling the batteries for a while to reset things
