Why are my pictures from my Powershot SX130IS blurry on the left side only?

[LibbiePayne]

I have had my Powershot SX130Is for less than a year.  Initially it took lovely pictures.  Now all of the pictures are blurry on the left of each image.  I use the easy or auto setting.  I am very dissappointed with the picture quality.  Any suggestions?

That's an interesting issue.  This might seem like a silly question, but I'm completely serious:  is the lens possibly dirty on one side?  (if so, use a soft cloth, like the kind that comes with eyeglasses, to gently wipe/clean it).

LibbiePayne,

I agree that making sure the lens is clean may be all that is needed here.  You can clean the lens by gently wiping it down with a soft, lint free cleaning cloth, similar to what you would typically use to clean eyeglasses.

If the images are still blurry on the left side, this may require more in-depth troubleshooting. Feel free use this Contact Us link to contact us directly if you continue to experience this issue.
