These pictures were taken yesterday with my Canon 70D, and a white area started to appear at the bottom of each photo. What could be causing this? The camera is well used, but this just started happening. It is not the lens because two different lenses were used for the first photo and the others. It is not the card, because I used two differnt cards as well. Could the issue be a shutter problem, has anyone seen this occurrance before, and if so how do I correct it?
Maybe one of the shutter blades is hanging up?. The bottom one?
Just a guess. Good luck.

If that is the case, how do I fix it?

Looks like it could be a sensor or shutter problem. I would try these things. Can you change the aspect ratio of your images in the camera? Does it happen when taking a video? Try using the flash and see if it still happens.
Probably a sensor issue. If it were the shutter the band would be black. Part of the image is still noticeable through the white interference.

Odd that it is on an angle though. I would surmise that sensor problems would be rectilinear.

It does not hppen while taking video. I will try changing the aspect ration and using fill flash.

It's funny that the kids are so well padded and protected - except for their legs!

The reason to change aspect ratio to say 16x9 it will black out the problem part of the sensor because it will not try to read that area.
Set the Mode Dial to one of the Creative Zone modes.
Press the [ MENU ] button to display the menu screen.
Under the [ ] tab, select [Aspect ratio], then press [ ].
Select the desired aspect ratio, then press [ ] .
If you take a video, using the cameras normal aspect ratio, the shutter will be wide open and you can see if it is a sensor problem.
Shoot in live mode the shutter is wide open.
Try to overexpose or under expose the shot. Also use a long shutter speed. Put the camera to maximum frames per second which should fill up the buffer.
Just for the heck of it, try a different memory card. Take a look inside the camera and see if there is a little piece of white paper stuck in there. : ) Well, there could be something inside the camera.

In his first post he said he tried a different lens and memory card.
Since the shutter is wide open during video (doesn't come into play) and there is no problem, kinda seems like it would be a shutter problem then.

I suspect it’s a $450+ problem repair by Canon. But probably worth the call regardless to get an opinion.

Isn't the image projected on the sensor inverted?
Maybe the shutter is stuck and doesn't reset all the way up.
