My Olympus Stylus 760's rear screen wavers constantly while focusing or zooming, and after I take a photo the image is covered with multiple green horizontal lines. What is likely causing this, and is there anything I can do to fix it?

It seems either the sensor or the associated electronics in your decade old Olympus Stylus 760 has gone on the fritz. It's probably time to consider another camera.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Those symptoms point to a hardware failure, most likely the image sensor or related internal electronics. If the live view wavers during focusing/zooming and the captured image is covered with green horizontal lines, the problem is not a normal setting issue.
On an older compact camera like the Olympus Stylus 760, repair is usually impractical unless you have a sentimental reason to keep it. The most realistic next steps are:
- Try a reset and fresh battery just to rule out a simple glitch.
- If the problem remains, assume a sensor/electronics fault.
- Consider replacing the camera rather than repairing it.
In short: the camera likely has a failing sensor or processing circuit, and replacement is usually the sensible solution.
