Olympus Stylus u700 White Photos outside

Hi all

I have an old Olympus Stylus u700 camera and have a problem with it -

During the day inside the house and at night - photos are okay.

During the day outside - photos are fully white and I can't see them.

I've looked at some settings and things seem to be okay.

Has anybody else had a problem like this?

Thanks in advance

Re: Olympus Stylus u700 White Photos outside

Hi,

-Are the photos only all white on the camera screen (?) or can you view the photos when you read them from the SD card ? (on computer/tablet) ?

-Do you see the photo on the back screen in live view before you press the shutter button ?

-Do try with another SD card.

-Did you accidentally set the compensation to the maximum of +2 ?

-Is the program button exactly in the correct position positioned right across the horizontal marker point and NOT in between two programs ?

-Is the screen brightness changed in view mode ?

If nothing of this is the case than and nobody else gives you better advise, maybe it's time to replace your 2006 camera for new one because IMHO repair will not be possible anymore.

Success,

Re: Olympus Stylus u700 White Photos outside

I used to get this on my 2003 C-750UZ when I accidentally changed the ISO setting to 'HIGH ISO' instead of AUTO ISO.

I also got this on my SH-2 after the mechanical shutter stuck. During videos I still could do correctly exposed stills, because that used the electronic shutter. The cause was getting caught in one summer shower too many.

Unfortunately, a spare SH-2 lens assembly (containing the mechanical shutter) was no longer available.

Re: Olympus Stylus u700 White Photos outside

Thanks for the responses. I'll investigate these with the camera and respond back.

This is an old camera we had and thought if it was okay I would sell it.

I brought a new Nikon D810 so I can take some great shots.
