DO i need a filter or is it my cam..?

[liarliar]

The above photos shows what i am getting from the cam whenever i tried to shoot direct into or near to a light source. It happens whenever i capture the sun or street lightings. Is my cam going or do i need filters or a lens hood?

Need some enlightenment.

Nothing to cameras lah. This will always happen when the camera is pointed at or near the light source - it'll be worse if you add on filters. The thing to do is not to point at the light source & use lens hood.
