Camera Issues
 

I dropped my camera on the sidewalk a few days ago, and now it "sees" everything out of focus and in violent shades of purple. I took a photo of a lamp, which is attached. I think I might have dislodged the UV filter, as my camera doesn't pick up purple that well, but I'm not sure. It's a Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS, and I really don't want to replace it unless I have to. Any ideas?

There's the problem right there. The best solution is to buy a better camera from Canon, Nikon or Samsung.

Maybe, but I like this one, and want to try to save it.

I doubt the idea of the UV filter having been knocked loose; cameras these days tend not to have them installed, and they're useless extra cost with digital sensors. The only case in which a UV filter would drastically affect the colors is if you were using a film camera, in which case it would cast a blue haze on your pictures.
Nonetheless, see if you can't somehow adjust the color correction and white balance to get it into a working color temperature. As for the focus, there's really nothing I know of. If you can manually focus, see if you can mess around with that, in case you broke the AF motor in the lens. If none of that works, then the sensor is probably borked, in which case fixing this problem might end up being more trouble than a $200 camera is worth.

Well, I dropped my camera again, and it seems to have fixed itself.

… Does anyone how that could happen?
