Camera in transit

My EX-S3's screen has been behaving a bit strangely for the past week or so: first it started going 50% grey on me, unless I pressed a certain place on the camera's case, and now sometimes it's completely grey, 50% grey, or OK, depending on how I'm holding the camera. Also a grey blob has started appearing in the top left-hand corner of all pictures (you can see it in last week's weather picture).

I bought the camera when I was in Japan in October, but it came with a "Tourist Warranty", which hopefully is good enough to convince the guys up in Auckland to fix it up for free. Fingers crossed!
