Automatic overexposure all pictures are white

My camera was working fine until yesterday then suddenly all the pictures I take look severly overexposed. I found it worse outside. I was able to take some pictures inside a church, but when i look at the picture on a computer screen there are white lines running through the photograph. I{ve tried removing battery and putting it back in but no joy. I´ve tried all ´best shot´ settings as well as manual and snapshot settings. Video seems to be working ok. Is there anything i can do?

After my camera was dropped into the snow (for not more than 1 second) and after an extensive period of drying, it showed exactly the same problem. Film = ok, but photo's are overexposed. In the viewer it seems all ok, but the photo itself is overexposed especially ouside (more light).

Try cleaning the contacts on the mem card and inside the slot with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol.

Anonymous Jan 29, 2009

a q-tip is one of those cotton swabs on a stick that you use to clean your ears with. You soak the cotton swab in the rubbing alcohol and then rub it on the metal contact pins on the memory card and inside the camera on those contact pins that the memory card goes to .

My Nikon coolpix will not take a picture. I take a picture, but all I get is a white screen. What is the problem?

probably gross overexposure. What shooting mode are you in? Try it on automatic. Make sure you are not in a manual mode.

Check to make sure you don't have the camera set for overexposure in the exposure compensation setting.

Light or white picture when shot on a broad daylight or on a well-lighted area

Are you in any other mode besides automatic when this happens. If you're not sure, check that the rotator dial is set to the first little red camera right next to the blue arrow (this is the automatic position). If you're in this position then it's unlikely that overexposure will occur unless you're also encountering mechanical failure of a stuck shutter.

Over exposure photos

Try change the exposure of the camera: start the camera, set the dial to 'I' (automatic iso), then press the 'up' menu near the display until 'exposure' settings appear. move the slider to the left/right, according to your preference.
I reccomend using the automatic iso for taking pictures, it automatically adjust exposure.

Over exposure

Hey - have the same problem. All my still pictures are coming out overexposed, no matter what setting I use. Tried resetting, tried new battery, tried new memory card, tried different exposure settings. Nothing fixed it or affected it. However, my movie exposure works great so I can take movies just fine. Are you able to take movies with no overexposure?

OverExposure Even in AUTO mode

usually it's the opening in the lens doing it. it may be stuck open and not closing down during bright sunshine. The only thing you can do is drop the exposure down. Canon offeres a repair for about $100 or a refurbished SD750 for the same money

Overexposed photos in otherwise normal settings in casio ex-s500

It is the shutter (or at least it was for me) I found a simple test here: http://www.mydc.com.tw/repair/knowledge_en/casio-exilim-ex-s600-overexposure-t17.html
I repaired it myself, but it took me a whole afternoon and lots of patience.
The hard part is taking the camera apart, once I got to the shutter I just activated it manually so to dislodge any pieces that might have gotten jammed, then placed it back together again and it worked! :).
It's really hard to take apart, it's like a puzzle sometimes, to find which screws are keeping it together. I also had a bit of hard time when it came to put the zoom back together again.
But I guess it beats throwing the camera away.
I'm still puzzled on how the CCD works so that an overexposure would make horizontal overexposed lines, but everything points to that. Fixed shutter, lines be gone.

Overexposure

CoolPix 5700's have a common image sensor failure. Check with Nikon for recalls, this may be the cause of your issue. Alternatively the shutter may be stuck open, causing too much light to reach the sensor and causing over exposure as well as lines across the image. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
