Pink Edges in Photos

I have a 1 1/2 yr old Canon A70. Any pictures taken in bright

sunlight (with or without flash) have a pink edge on the bottom right

of the picture always. Is there any way I can correct it. What is

causing it? A sample photo http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?

I doubt there's anything you can do about this; it looks like a problem with the camera. Best to send it in for repair.

It is called 'purple fringing' or chromatic aberration. It is quite common with digital cameras, especially those with small sensors. Sending the camera in for repair would not help at all. It can be removed, quite labouriously, in photoshop. Usually it is very seldom so obvious that it would require corrective work. When it is, it is often only in a small part of the image making it not that time consuming to fix in photoshop.

Sorry, I answered too fast. Your picture was so big that I could not see it on my screen at one time. The purple fringing I mentioned is noticeable in the top left upright pole for example. But the purple colouration in the bottom is a problem with the camera. Either with its lens or with the sensor. Repairing the sensor will probably be so expensive that it is unlikely worth it for an old camera. But is the lens clean? If there is some smudge in the lens, it might cause partial colouring of the image.

Thanks for the responses. The Camera is now out of warranty and the repair cost is almost the same as the cost of the new Camera. Guess I guess stay away from Canons
