What caused this messed up camera?

Nikon coolpix 5700
This was during the initial meltdown:

This is an original with exif data:

Looks like something terribly wrong in the processing to me.

Someone sets the shutter for 1 second exposure and pans it.

You're victim of a dud Sony sensor.

Contact Nikon service, they should fix it for free.

Mine was dying in the same manner on this shot on my 3rd to last day in
China while hiking up Huangshan Mtn, the photo after this it was completely
dead. Thankfully I was using my little old A70 only for snapshots.

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).

Someone sets the shutter for 1 second exposure and pans it.

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

The exif says 1/40 sec ISO 400 f/4.8 19mm

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.
