The problem with Canon PowerSHot S60 Camera.

I am afraid this seems to be a hardware error in the sensor. If the image is purplish in color when blurred it is similar to my and another user's problem. He/she contacted the manufacturer and they said they can fix it for $250. I am not a repair specialist so there may be a simpler cause and solution- good luck.

it is because of bad ccd imager chip in your Canon A75 camera that needs to be replaced.
Canon will replace it free of cost, click Canon CCD Imager Advisory for details.
Thanks.

there is a malfunction in the camera itself.. is it still under warranty? It makes no sense that you did anything wrong.... send it back to the manufacturer and tell them to FIX it.

Try Custom mode which still seems to work on my S60

Obviously it's a mass Canon A95 issue, it's the same as "pink blur LCD" question which has around 10 people with the same problem, and there's also "purple LCD line" question which refers to the same. Just this website has around 20 of us who posted in August. Unfortunately not a single reply.

i also have the same problem blurred and has vertical lines.
