It's a failing sensor chip in the camera. If your phone is under warranty, get it replaced.

@Merete

it seems you got some wrong 7100s links. :-) CF card doesn't make sense here.

@lherrou

i guess so, but the phone is already 5 years old out of warranty.

never had this kind of issue before, the phone was in good condition including the camera, but after sending it to another state via post office the issue appeared.

as the phone body and screen has no any problem now, how could the CCD sensor inside get issues after delivery?
Ok  doesnt your Nokia support these?
I was trying to cover all basis.
I did mention straight up the lines indicated the sensor and then continued with or.
And now it's functioning ok again?
Did you wrap it in bubble pack to protect against impact damage?

i think so.

thanks for your comments and suggestions mates.
Hi bbao if this camera is on it's way out may I show you the camera I bought just before Christmas, It's a Nikon Coolpix S6500 from BigW
Since we needed a second a camera and I didnt want spend up big like we did with the Panasonic.
I'm in Australia , if it helps you feel a little less daunted with the prospects of buying a new camera, this is an excellent camera very affordable.
I upgraded the internal memory as I like to take lots of video as well photos.
It was around $185 dollars Australian with the memory upgrade
has tons of features.
It includes a movie editor and image editor which is pretty good. Has a Setup Disc. USB connection.

You should be able to get it in your country shop aorund even online at Amazon.
They have various colours.
New and used. The used come with a warranty anyway, Often the used are not used but missing the setup disc for the software or not in a box.
But the so called used stuff i have bought from Amazon are very good. Especially Audio CD's just cause they have no case half price.
