That is what a picture taken indoors looks like. If I take something outside, the image is usually solid white. It doesnt appear like the shutter is closing, so thats why it can somewhat work inside, but turns out like it does in the link.
The reason this is happening is someone had a sugary drink that splashed only on the lense. I already took it apart and used some alcohol to clean the little flaps of the shutter, which were pretty much glued together due to the drink. Im just not sure if this is permanent hardware damage or something that is fixable by me.
The camera is only a refurbished Samsung s860, which the repair costs through their website cost more than I bought the camera for, which was like $60. If I cant do anything else to fix it, oh well, im not out that much.
