MY camera seems to be overexposing all pictures taken , so that I can not take outdoor photos at all and can only take photos inside if I close the drapes and block all natural daylight. It seems as if perhaps a settings button has been accidently hit or something...NOT SURE but I do not see how to fix it.

Hello, the problem that you explain could easily be caused by an improper "ISO" setting. When you go to your camera's menu, look for the ISO setting and put it back on "auto". It's probably on 800 or higher now, which will cause everything to be overexposed.

    I believe that you are not looking in the right menu area. Those camera have a menu on the side of the viewing screen when its turned on. It's possible that you have 'on screen' menu turned off and you are looking in the system menu instead of the settings menu for current photograph. Turn on "on screen' display or menu and once you do that you should see your options for the current photograph, such as whether to turn on your flash or not and whether to focus for macro or infinity distance, etc. I hope this helps a bit more. Those camera menus can be a bit daunting at first, especially if you don't have the manual. But the manual should be available for download from the Support pages of the Kodak website under the model number of your camera. Have you tried that?

It seems to me that the camera is overexposing the images.
First make sure that the 'ISO' is set to a lower value such as 100 or 200. Also ensure that the Exposure Compensation (+/-) is set to '0'. For this, you might need to put the camera on 'P' mode.

All outside pictures come out very white. Inside seems to be okay. Have tried 'reset' but still no good.
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, sometimes with lines, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.
