I have had a similar "squint" experience with the digicamera I carry around from work, which was only rectified when the camera was sent off for a thorough cleaning.

I believe it derived from when my compatriot landscape architect at Metro Parks was using it to photograph an "air spade" doing some root excavation. All the dust blowing around impacted the ability of the aperture to open and close properly, often only part way opening or part way closing. This doesn't show up on the screen on the back of the camera nor when looking through the viewfinder, only when you look at your pictures later on the computer.

I'll include some of my favorite "squints" that I can't bear to throw away (until I get better full pics this year).
