Samsung s730 won't take pictures, getting white screen

My camera has worked great for the 5 years I have owned it. Yesterday, we went to a parade and when I went to take pictures all I got was an overexposed white screen. It will not take pics outside at all.. When I am inside it does take pictures. How do I get rid of the white screen??

SOURCE: I have a samsung S730 camera and when I turn it on

Sounds like one of two problems: the lcd could be bad, or the circuit that processes the pictures could be faulty. There are some ribbon cables inside the camera that can also get "knocked" out of their settings with the camera being dropped, etc. Service will be required to fix it, but you might just opt for getting a newer camera on sale, since the price of repair is often more than the old camera's worth. I've seen 10.2 mp name brand cameras on sale for $69...probably half the cost of repair. Sorry, wish I had better news.

SOURCE: Outside pictures are all white.

I've got the same problem as misred. Is there anybody who knows how to solve this problem? Is it the CCD?

Have you tried reformatting it? That's fixed some problems with mine, you could try that and see if it works

SOURCE: camera over-exposes all pics, and the =/- button does not work.

hi

the Exposure button will generally be disabled in auto mode

try changing it to 'P' (Program) mode and then change the exposure by pressing the +/- button and then you would generally see a scale on the LCD now press the left button to decrease the exposure

better more is to reset the camera to the default settings this would set the aperture, shutter, Exposure, LCD brightness and otehr settings to defaults and this would save from any unwanted changes than required

cheers
pls rate if it was any help

SOURCE: pics turn white with lines when taken outside in day light

Check to see if your ISO is set to a high number like 800 or 1600. If so, set it lower or on auto ISO. Your white balance should probably be on auto white balance. Go into the setup menu and see if your camera has a setting for "reset". This could take your camera back to factory defaults.

Where can I download a free Samsung S730 digital camera users manual

I couldn't find an actual .pdf download for the manual, and strangely samsung seems to have removed the S730 from their download pages. But I did find an online version that you can scroll through. Its the 98 page manual that covers both the S630/S730 cameras. The link is posted below. Hope this helps!

My Samsung S750 just shows white screen

I was getting a white screen every time I put the power on and used the suggestion by Fionn - squeezing the camera around the screen and it worked like a charm.
Please try it also

Hello. My daughter has had her samsung S73 for 3

The eye flashing is normal when the flash is trying to charge up , if the batteries are healthy the camera won`t take a picture until the flash is charged fully.Try turning the flash off and see if the camera fires, get some higher rated rechargeable batteries (2000mah) or above this may resolve your problem.
