I have a Rollei RCP-8427XW Digital Camera
Experienceing problem whereby pictures are 'over exposed'
i.e. outside appear rather white. inside quite yellow.
On going in Menu colour is shown as vivid unable to change to standard - always reverts back to vivid - any ideas?

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Windows Photo Gallery or Picasa.
This seems to be a software problem with your camera. Your camera should, if on AUTO mode, automatically expose your photo accurately. Try half pressing the shutter button (used to take pictures) while outside to adjust focus and exposure, then press the button fully to take picture. If your camera cannot adjust to take a properly exposed picture (not bright white), then it is possible that the shutter speed is stuck on a too high speed, outside daytime shutter speed should be fast (1/1000 sec). Or if your shutter speed adjust accurately, it could be the aperture if the aperture is not small enough for daylight shooting. This is likely a software problem. Try adjusting your settings manually and see if the picture turns out!
It sounds like you just need to go to the support site for Rollei and download the compatable driver/software for your new computers operating system.
Here is a link for the new Rollei website. I didn;t see the drivers listed but that usually means you can contact them and they should let you know where to get them. The email below that is for support.
You may have the settings wrong. Check in the MENU to see if you have it set to "inside" pics rather than outside. Also the ISO has a lot to do with the exposure. If the iso is set too low outside sunlight pics will be white or overexposed. Try setting ISO on wheel for various options select program mode button and MENU select ISO 120 or 250. These are are pretty general settings. the flash will only engage inside or outside if the light is low ( like evening) I suspect your ISO setting is at a setting that is incompatible with bright sunlight t Also select White Balance and move it to DAYLIGHT
take a few shots inside and out to see if there is an improvement.
Hi there its a chance of sersor damaged. He not able to read the light. Thats why outside image are over exposed. I suggest you visit service center for check or repair the lens sensor.Thanks.
Describe wierd - this word means nothing.
White flash images are over exposed- so reduce the
ISO setting to a lowers number if the camera allows it.
or
Reduce power of the flash.
The easiest way to do this is to put layers of tissue of the light reducing the intensity until you get it about right.
I'm not familiar with that exact camera, but buried in the cameras menus - there are various options to set the camera to such setting as auto exposure and that sort of thing. Sounds like you may have discovered that already.
In addition, some cameras offer a "white balance" setting - and that should be set on day light.
