Bright images outdoors, sometimes with horizontal lines

My camera shoots too bright images when shooting outdoors. Photos taken indoors appear to have horizontal lines but are much clearer than those taken outdoors. Is the shutter stuck or is it a ccd problem?

My camera shoots too bright images when shooting outdoors. Photos taken indoors appear to have horizontal lines but are much clearer than those taken outdoors. Is the shutter stuck or is it a ccd prob

With the main dial on top of the camera, set it on Auto(magic). When it is in a scene mode, it can't adjust to the right settings.
Use the menu button.
When it is set to Auto and you get the same result, I'm afraid there is another problem. But if the pictures are better, only use a mode you understand. (To start with scene and chose a mode you need)

Overexposure and horizontal-striped image

Hi!
No, it's not a software problem. The problem is that the shutter doesn't work so it can't control the amount of light taken so the pictures are very bright with horizontal lines. There are usualy two causes - a broken shutter cable inside the lens or the shuuter blades are stuck - may happen if the lens get wet or something adhesive gets in it. It's a hardware problem so I suggest you contact local Canon or other camera service center. It is considered a hard repair so it could get expensive. I don't think it's worth it, so I would suggest you get another camera.

Hope this helps!

Horizontal lines appear on screen when picture is taken on my GE A730 digital camera

Hi

Sounds like the aperture of your lens is stuck open and overexposing the images. Try taking a picture in very bright light like outdoors, is it completely washed out? Now take another picture indoors in much less light, is it NOT washed out but has the lines?

From our experience repairing cameras this is the lens aperture and the lens must be replaced.

Good luck

The image is getting blurred

Hi

The camera may have moved when the picture was taken. Try steadily squeezing the button intead of a quick press.

2.Try using a tripod, this could fix the blurred images.

3. faster shutter speed will be needed if you need to hold the camera, and cannot use a tripod.

4. Main reason for the lines could be that the subject is to bright.
A vertical bar of light(red, purple) appears on the LCD monitor/ in the viewfinder This is a normal occurrence in devices containing CCDs (Digital Cameras) and does not mean a malfunction. (This red bar of light will not be recorded when shooting still photos, but it will be recorded when shooting
movies.)

Solution to the last point would be to try and switch of the flash if it is in use. Turn the ISO setting (50, 100, 200) to a lower one as well.

Hope that helps.

Picture taken is so bright and with trasparent horizontal line

If the photo shoot out show white , the obscure (quality variation), and even horizontal line ( white lines), and so on over-exposure cases, even if the use of anti-tremor, set to default values are invalid, because the camera shutter fault.

It's need repair camera machine shutter.

Very Bright Outdoor Photos with lines

The shutter is stuck. The electronic "noise" created by the solenoid trying to move the shutter blades causes the lines on your pictures. The bright outdoor pictures is due to the fact that the shutter is jammed open. You can try tapping the camera on the sides and bottom. This may jar the baldes loose. Failing that, you will have to find a shop that can obtain a replacement lens assembly for your camera.

Digital camera problem

The suggestion that it would cost a thousand dollars to fix this problem is totally off the mark. Your camera's shutter has stuck open. Normally when you take a picture the shutter closes blocking out the light and allowing the image sensor to record what it saw at the moment the shutter closed. When the shutter sticks open the images come out over-exposed and have lines across them because the image sensor is unable to properly record the image. This problem can be fixed with complete disassembly of the camera and lens assembly. The labor costs in the range of $89 to $145 and parts are not usually required. Check with your manufacturer for recalls and/or warranty support. If they cannot help you for free, there are repair providers which you can find online who will work on your camera for reasonable rates. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
