On my Konica Minolta Maxxun 7D camera. It takes great pictures inside my house, with or without flash but as soon as I step outside in bright light it will not take pictures. Why?

Outside in bright light are you getting a totally white photo?

Does it happen with any lens?

If it happens only with one lens then I suspect the aperture is stuck wide open. If it happens to any lens then maybe your 7D is not functioning properly and is not moving the aperture of the lenses.

Even wide open outside you can get an image, set the camera to a fast shutter speed say 1/2000 or 1/4000 and outside you should get a picture.

Good luck.

Yes. Check that, as it's something I dealt with several times, especially since many of us are shooting with old legacy glass.

Just a Maxxum, an Alpha, and crossed fingers.
