    It shouldn't be as bad as it looks, it looks like the camera is on a slow shutter speed. But even if it was on a high one, it still looks pretty bad.

    Yeah I have something like this on my E1705. But I cannot do anything about it since:

    1. My warranty didn't cover it.
    2. My warranty is now expired.
