I have a Cannon Power Shor 7.1. It is brand new. When I take pictures outside, they are all flashed out, so bright, I can barely make out an image. When I take them inside, there are lines thru them and the are not clear at all and it looks like the flash was also taken. They are on the bright side also. I am very frustrated. I am on vacation in Bangalore India and cannot take pictures. I bought the camera because it is suppose to be one of the best. It is not in this case. Is there some place here where I can take it? Please advise or help me. Thanks to whoever answers me.
Hey there uncle ed,
you have a problem with your cameras exposure. you should also disable nightmode if this camera has it.
usually when we take pictures outside, the camera is in auto focus and auto exposure mode so that you'll not get pictures that are too bright and unrecognizeable...but this is not the case with your camera.
please check with the camera settings about exposure and please check the manual that is with it since its still brand new.
follow up!
always remember that if your taking pictures, try to blend the camera settings with your surroundings... if its daytime, use the daylight mode, if its nighttime, use the nightmode. if its for taking background pics like scenery and stuff, use landscape... you should feel good when taking pictures too...
have a pleasant vacation there in bangalore!
by the way uncled,
what exact type is your canon powershot 7.1? is it g6? or sd550?
post whats on your mind...
yes its 7.1. but im asking if its a g6 type or g9 or sd50 becuase there LOTS of canon powershot types out in the market...
anyway... if you think that your camera is faulty... please check the settings first! you have the manual for that to assist you...
post questions regarding your camera here... we will be glad to help you.
ok. thanks for that...
here...
Check shutter speed, f-stop setting. Speed up your shutter or stop down your apeture. Ex.
shutter: go from a 1/20 to a 1/100
apeture: go from an f-2.5 to an f-6.7
these are just suggestions, you'll have to play around a bit
change the exposure meter...its in the menu options.
increase the ISO to reduce blur and brightness...doing this may also increase the noise in the picture...
if you think any of this solutions helped and assisted you in any way... dont forget to rate me... thanks again uncled
me out...
well, simply put on the other experts like thanks for trying or you can just leave them unrated....
fixya!

One way out of the glare is to use the optical viewfinder (if your camera has one) to preview your image instead of the LCD. Another possibility is to buy a camera that has a backlit LCD.
Check that the camera is not in night mode or overesposed from menu setting, I think you need the manual. Put it in daylight mode
At the bottom of this page ther is the link to the user manual, is the file called PSG6CUG-EN.pdf .

SOURCE: Very very Bright pictures outside and lines thru them inside
i think that is becoz of the light in your surrounding....

The camera is only a month old. Why would I want to buy a new one? I want this one to work. I don't think your solution is very good at all. I thought you were an expert? I am paying for EXPERT service. You may want to try researching my issues before sending me back a proper solution, don't you think?
