I have observed this anomaly, using 3 different cameras -
Canon's IXUS 40 (SD300), A520 & A610.
Its either vertical or horizontal, happens most of the time in very lightened pictures - but not always. Exposure don't seem to matter.
Anyhow, doesn't look like an optical anomaly...
Examples are attached.
Does anybody have a clue what is this? or how it can be prevented?
Thanx
