My samsung digimax s500 has a white screen when I take pictures outside

SOURCE: Big Problem with Samsung Digimax S500 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

first try to do the ff:
-try to power reset
(take off battery for 1-2 mins & put battery back)
-BP tried using fresh batteries
(try to replace battereis for your camera)

If you ahd tried those options, i suppose you camera needs service now, contact samsung back, do the ff:
-go to samsungcamerausa.com
-click on customer service
on the upper right portion of website
-provide product code and e-mail address
-provide all other necessary information
in registration process
-take note of service center address
-read all shipping reminders
-send camera to service center address provided

samsung service center will do the repair for you camera or if the problem is unrepairable, they will send you replacement camera, if its still udner warranty. tried this option and now my camera is working.

SOURCE: Outside pictures are all white.

I've got the same problem as misred. Is there anybody who knows how to solve this problem? Is it the CCD?

SOURCE: outside pictures turn white

Check the white balance. This should be under menu. When you are outside in sunlight, change is to the sun icon, ect.
Are the exposures very long? If they are, they need to be shorter in high light, and longer in lowlight situations.

Try putting it on the daytime setting.

Check to see if your ISO is set to a high number like 800 or 1600. If so, set it lower or on auto ISO. Your white balance should probably be on auto white balance. Go into the setup menu and see if your camera has a setting for "reset". This could take your camera back to factory defaults.
