I would think a set of drums would be an easy subject. The camera is a Sony cybershot 10.1MP

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if something happened to the camera. I've had this camera for around 8 months and never noticed this problem before, though I've never used it on this subject before.

Here is a pic taken at 10 MP:

if you zoom in the colors appear blotchy, especially around areas with a lot of chrome.

Another pic taken I think at 3 MP (I think flash was off on this one) shows the problem at extreme. I know it is only 3MP, but I have a Kodak 3.1MP camera that I could get better pics out of than this:

I tried resetting the camera, tried it on several different modes, but their was little or no difference.

I appreciate any help!
