Olympus camera overexposes

: Olympus FE-20 p&s digicam. Holding the camera up and using the display as the viewfinder, the exposure looks normal. Pressing the shutter button results in an overexposed photo. It doesn't matter if the flash is on or off; the resulting photo shown on the LCD display is always overexposed. Changing the exposure setting does have a little effect on the exposure. I'm a bit confused; if the "before the shot" view in the display is accurate, why would the exposed photo be different? What makes you think that it is accurate? Cameras adjust the viewfinder image to make things easier for the photographer - in the dark they make show the preview as lighter to make it easier to shoot and in a sunlingt darken it. So, cameras do lie before the shoot... But note that you should not trust the "after"-image either as it will be different to what the photo will look on your computer. Also, brightness of most LCD's can be adjusted. Check what the photos look on your computer, adjust the LCD and then you'll know what is accurate and what not. And if your camera can display a histogramm, try using that to judge the photograph's brightness. |

It's a relative term. The LCD viewfinder looks fairly normal. The recorded image is totally washed out. And if your camera can display a histogramm, try using that to judge the photograph's brightness. Not an option on this camera. |
