Same Problem

Nov 03, 2008

-   I have noticed that when I take a picture with the flash off, it looks okay on the screen on the camera. But when I up load it on to the computer it is really dark. This happens indoors and outside, and usually when it is darker out. But the pictures look fine on the camera. -   person9449

-   My pictures are too dark, outside or inside, sun, or no sun. I have to adjust brightness on my computer, then the pictures are too milky looking.-   ab9625

-   I've had this problem now with 2 Canon Power Shots. All of a sudden, every picture I take is dark. It doesn't matter what circumstances the picture being taken is in. No matter what I've do, they remain dark until I adjust the brightness on the computer. But then I lose the integrity of the picture. This happened with my previous Canon so I bought a new Canon. I think I will be switching camera brands this next time if I can't get this problem fixed.-   Lauren777

Locate the section in the handbook that deals with exposure compensation and learn to adjust your A620's exposure upwards by between 1 and 2 stops.  I have FIVE different Canon cameras and I have had to do this with all of them.

 

Remember: your flash exposure compensation may be handled in another part of the manual and will probably need to be set separately - worth remembering.

 

Also...it's worth switching to Aperture Priority (Av) mode, quite often; it seems to help with outdoor shots of buildings or of people, when their backgrounds are quite bright.

 

I know how frustrating this can be.

Not enough info given. Is it daytime, inside, outside, sunny, etc etc.
Have you read the instruction manual's troubleshoot section?

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Fuji should fix this for you for free. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. However, this advisory repair is currently limited to the US. Please check the following two links for more info:

My photos are too dark when inside even when flash goes off. This happens in auto and portrait. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

My pictures are mostly outside ones, but all of them are coming out too dark. I am also sometimes getting too much redish tint. This darkness is under all circumstances. Inside, outside, zoom or regular lens position. I have to adjust every picture by the same amount of brightness on my computer after it is taken.

Comment by Linds77, posted on Dec 27, 2007

If I take a picture inside the picture has an orangish color and the picture is fuzzy. It doesn't seem to matter if it is light or dark. I have tried adjusting the settings but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Comment by Guest, posted on Dec 15, 2007

I just got my camera.
and as soon as i turned it on.
the screen was pinkish.
and really dark.
When i point it to the sky, the sky would be pink, when i point it inside it would be really dark and you would not be able to see anything at all even though it was light inside.
