a4000is screen looks fuzzy

I bought a4000is week ago. Why the screen looks fuzzy in all the modes(atuo, p, etc.) before shooting? It is even more fuzzy in vivid mode. All use auto setting. But the pic is clear after taking the shoot. Is this defect product? any suggestion? Thx.

Hi nexx!

What you are probably seeing is out of focus. When you take a picture, the camera autofocuses first, which explains why everything looks fine afterward. Try pressing the shutter button down halfway to trigger the autofocus and you should see the live image on the LCD start to clear up as the subject is brought into focus.

Thanks for reply. I tried press button halfway but the screen still looks fuzzy, grainy. Here is the video. The screen looks like in a very low resolution and produce grainy look. Can somethng be adjusted?
