Interestingly enough, I have a Sony SNC-RZ30N (a pan/tilt/zoom webcam)
with almost the exact same problem, just moreso.

The image file itself is perfectly normal. It has stored what the
electronics thought came out of the CCD (although this is not
necessarily what the CCD actually measured).

They would need remarkable allignment skills to pan it exactly
parallel to the CCD array axis.

The readout logic or possibly the shutter has died and it is smearing
the image as it gets read from the chip. Not surprisingly with garbage
being read from the chip the autofocus is hosed too.
