N8 Overexposed too bright pictures. Camera problem...

Good day to all.
I have a Nokia N8 and there is a problem with a camera. When taking photos in the dark or low light places, the camera is just wonderful, the pictures are great.
But...
In daylight/ bright light or even cloudy day the camera is taking overexposed pictures. Here is example of the pictures, that i took yesterday in the cloudy conditions.
I tried: to lower ISO, Exposure, white balance. Nothing helps. Tried to take pictures with CameraPlus program, still nothing.
Tried to do hard reset - nothing. I even changed the Sw from Scandinavian 11.5 to latest belle, nothing helped. It seems, that all the SS changes somehow bypasses the camera drivers or something. Could it be physical damage?
By the way, the N8 warranty period has expired. What should I do? Thank you for your time.

So...
Yes ND filter seems to be working as I turn phone in the bright light it comes on. Few days ago camera gived me another surprise . In all photos top you can see purple and blue bubbles.So I took phone to the nokia care centre. Phone doesn't have warranty anymore, so they told me, that firstly they recommend me to change camera module and that would cost me arround 75 dollars. That is the half of a price that i payed for the phobe. So that's way too expensive for the student I thinking about changing camera module by my self. Will it help?

Unfortunately, you have done all that can be done without visiting a Nokia Care Point and you may even have issues getting parts for the N8 now, but all I can suggest is to have a professional repairer check it out as it looks to be a physical issue

Brightness control noise problem

Just got a new iMac 24". The default display max brightness is way too bright. The problem is that reducing the brightness is accompanied by a very annoying electric hum at a frequency around the middle C on a piano. It sounds like a typical trafo electric hum, and it grows louder as you reduce the brightness.
In a busy office or work environment it would probably not be noticed, but in a quiet private workroom it becomes unacceptable. The hum also happens when the display is dimmed before going in sleep mode.
I am wondering if there is a way to adjust the general range of brightness, so instead of going from bright to very very bright it would go from say soft to a comfortable brightness. In this way I could leave the brightness at or near max where the hum is absent.
I've looked into the coloursync-control utility, but have not found a way to change the brightness settings.
Anyone recognizing this issue or have any suggestions?

I bought the 24" imac 3.06 Ghz in the beginning of June. About 3 weeks later when I reduced the brightness of the screen, which I had done in the past, I noticed an annoying hum that increased in volume as I decreased the brightness. I called Apple support and the tech, thinking it could be electrical interference, had me unplug any peripherals. That did not solve the problem. I tried every other outlet in my house and that didn't help either. I was also instructed to zap the pram and to unplug and hold power button down for 15 seconds with no success. He said to take in to a repair center for testing. The repair center could not solve the problem and told apple it was an acceptable, "normal" issue. Then Apple refused to fix it. I called back, spoke to a supervisor, He arranged to have a tech come to my house, replace the power supply and inverter cable. That did not solve the problem. After calling apple again a few more times, and speaking with another supervisor they finally agreed to exchange my imac. That solved the problem, no more annoying hum. Fyi, the old imac I had was a week 9 build made in china, the new one, a week 26 build made in the US.

Images too bright in PSE, good in Windows Picture Viewer.

Hi:
My question is this, I shot some pictures of my son last weekend, in studio,
with a Nikon D2X camera, and a softbox lightbank mounted on a Balcar
flash head. I set the camera to RAW-JPEG Fine, ISO 100, and used a
Minolta flashmeter to measure the light from the strobe. The reading was
f/8 and 2/3. The images look good in the LCD camera display, but when
I see them in my PC display, they look way too bright in Photoshop Elements 7.0,
but they look fine in the Windows XP SP3 Picture Viewer.
Why is this?. If I adjust the contrast and brightness in PSE, then they look too dark
when I check them in Windows Picture Viewer...
Also, the highlights look a little burned out in both, PSE and Windows Picture Viewer,
but the problem looks more evident in PSE. This happens often when I shoot pictures
using strobe lights.
Can you help me with this two problems?.
I have attached one of the pictures so you can take a look at it.
Thanks.

As to why the photo looks different in PSE than in Windows Picture And Fax Viewer, there are two possibilities:
1. Your display may have a color profile associated with it, either because you calibrated it with a calibrator or a profile was installed by the disk that came with your display. PSE is "color managed" and will adjust the colors of a photo based on the display's color profile, whereas Windows Picture And Fax Viewer will not. If you want fine control over accurate display of colors on your display, you'll need to calibrate it if you haven't already, and you should then only use color-managed programs like PSE to view your photos.
2. The photo you posted indicates that you've set your camera to use the Adobe RGB color space for JPEGs. The Organizer has a bug and doesn't display the thumbnails (even large thumbnails) of such photos correctly. The Organizer's Display > Full Screen (F11) and the Editor do display such photos correctly. I'm not sure if this particular photo will trigger the bug, because of the way Nikon in particular stores color profiles in JPEGs. You could see if you're getting hit by this bug by:
a. Open the photo in the Editor.
b. In the Organizer, make the photo's thumbnail as large as possible (not Full Screen view).
c. Adjust the zoom of the photo in th Editor to be about as large as the one in the Organizer.
d. Use Ctrl Tab to switch quickly between the two. If you see differences, you're encountering the bug.

Outdoor pictures too bright

Hi,
I have problem with outdoor pictures taken with my blackberry, they are too bright and often come out as a white screen. Object on screen before I take the picture it looks good but once picture is taken screen changes and picture appears as almost white screen. Indoor pictures are still good. I played with different white ballance settings but it had no effect at all. Anybody have the same problem or solution to this?
Thank you

I finally was able to find a post that resolves this issue. It turns out to be a software problem related to
OS 4.5.0.37. After upgrading to 4.5.0.69, camera is working fine again.
Here a link where to download this version

Images in Bridge CC too bright

Why do my images show almost 2 EV too bright in Bridge CC after filing from PS CC, but have a perferct match when opend on Bridge CS6?

Either you have set Auto Tone adjustments set in Camera Raw preferences or have created a custom default ACR setting for this file type which is set to overexposed.

Monitor too bright

Hi,
I'm re-purposing a quad core 2.8Ghz Mac Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8.
I'm having a problem in that the monitor/screen image is too bright, even with the monitor controls set to minimum.
When I use the monito calibrator in System Prefs, the black/grey/white oval graphic is very very very light and washed out and there's no way I can adjust the monitor to get the black bit black.
This monitors (2 of them) worked perfectly on the G5 it came from, black was black white was paper-white and it worked well for photo editing - printed results were a good match with the image on the monitors. However when I plug them into this MacPro they're virtually unusable.
Window borders, furniture (buttons, tabs etc) and the desktop (Mac OS bits???) seem fine - it's just the inner part of windows (the bit controlled by the application rather than the Mac OS???) that is too biright and wahsed out.
It's as if the graphics card is misbehaving. Is there a way to "reset" the graphics card?
Note; I'm not sure if this actually has anything to do with it - I noticed this happening when I installed Illustrator CS2 (yes, I know, its old) and the installed asked permission to install Rosetta. It may be coicidence that I just noticed it at this stage or it may be the cause. How do I temorarily remove or disable Rosetta?
Both monitors can't suddently have become faulty, so I'm doscounting an issue with the monitors.
Mac OS 10.6.8, Quad 2.8 GHz Mac Pro
Monitors are connected with digital cables direct to the digi ports (no VGA converters)
Many thanks,
G.

Many thanks to both responders. Various points for both:
The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT.
The OS is a fresh install on a newly reformatted main drive. The old OS is on the secon'd drive but has been moved into a separate folder called "Old System".
Apps are all new/clean installs from original disks, then updates applied.
It seems implausible that the drive partitioning system is affecting the video output, is this likely to be the problem?
I know CS2 is old, but I don't have a choice and CS2 was running OK on the PPC Mac and these 2 monitors.
The problem is always present whether I have CS components running or not. Quark 8 is too bright, as is Preview and all other apps.
Does the graphics card have a non-volatile memory for settings? What if it has previously been config'd badly; can it be reset?
Can I uninstall Rosetta to see if this is the issue?
Thnaks again, both.

HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw scanned images are too bright

Hello!
Is there a way to change scanner's default image color correction as currently all of resulted scanned images (text documents, graphics, photos) are unnaturally too bright?
I had another HP Ink Jet printer also with scanner and all scanned images have good color correction there.
So I think there is a problem with my current one.
Does anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hello, Futoji!
Sorry for big delay.
I did what you've told me and now I am wondering about what I see.
1) To scan documents I use both HP Scan and Apple Image Capture with default settings (no color correction).
Well it does not matter, though, because I see bright pictures right after scanning them.
2) I scan documents from flatbed (not feeder), well it is the same for feeder.
3) So, what I noticed was that printer scanned document and printed it almost exactly as it was only using hardware buttons on it.
But when I did scan using both programs above the same document, it was getting too bright to be real... When I printed such scanned image the result was accordingly bad.
So, what I think is that this scanner works differently for hardware buttons and software or applies some filters on the resulted image...
I found 2 similar posts to mine, they are describing the same problem for different printers, but unfortunately they didn't seem to be solved.

CL acquisition hangs when image gets too bright?

I'm having a bit of a strange problem and I can't be sure whether it's the camera or the board: basically, in any run mode, when the image gets too bright, the aquisition stops and I get a timeout in MAX.This is with a PCIe-1433 and a Point Grey Gazelle. Capping the camera and restarting the acquistion works fine. This happens any time the majority of the image gets to ~80% brightness.
Making things more confusing, this can sometimes be fixed by switching cables (the same model 5 meter NI cable, but just a different one); now, however, I have a couple of cameras that exhibit this with any cable and so I need to get it figured out. It certainly might be a camera issue or some combination and so I'm contacting PGR as well. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for any info!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the replies so far.
* If the brightness is overdriven with EITHER gain OR exposure OR aperture OR by shining a light in the camera, it can happen.
* It seems that choosing different cables or a different camera can change the amount of overdrive required to do this, but it can always be forced.
* If I clip the acquisition window and overdrive outside the window, still happens. If I clip the ROI on-camera and overdrive outside that, does not happen.
* Strangely, in the NI camera file generator, a "Snap" will always succeed, no matter how bright. The "Grab" will fail with a timeout if the image starts too bright.
* Bit of a breakthrough. The gradient test pattern (which contains 16384 of each grey level) works fine no matter what I do with the physical camera. The pseudo-random pattern (Snap attached) causes this failure.
* In 2-tap mode (which is a no go for frame rate, but I checked for troubleshooting) I can see the pseudorandom pattern with no problems, but overdrive still causes the initial issue.
Unless there's something really weird happening, this makes me think that the problem, such as it is, lies with the board. Something to do with how it is detecting blanking, or the end of the frame, is being fooled by the pattern?
Thanks so much for the test pattern tip, BlueCheese, I still down have a fix but I know where to direct my attention now.

FCP Filter control brightness? - washed out - too bright?

We filmed a high school jazz choir presentation, 4 -HD canon HFS 20 cameras. We had the white balance set to incandescent. The video was edited using multiclip. It all looks very good, on all the close up cameras. The wider shots look a little washed out or too bright. The lighting on the stage was pretty bright, so if a student had a white shirt on and the lights were directed at his/her head, it kind of blended together slightly. In general it looks pretty good, but I was wondering if there was a way to cut that (overexposure?) down using FCP, or is there something I need to do when we film.

Hello Jeff,
generally you should avoid overexposing your footage. Most cameras have a "Zebra" that will indicate areas over 100 IRE. Blown out video may not be fixable in post because the information in the overexposed areas may be lost. You can try the following:
• 3-way color corrector; easiest approach but not very powerful
• take the footage into Color for grading; this is much more sophisticated as you can work on selected areas.
• if you don't want go through Color you could give this tool a shot: http://www.pistolerapost.com/pluginz/captains.zip
hope this helps

My iphone 5s 16 gb has an camera problem, turn the camera on tap all green, please help me

Hi teejayfs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

73 Camera problem

If i try to take a photo in broad daylight, say for example taking a picture of the city street at 1pm on a sunny day, everything will be completely white. I'm not sure if this is normal. fluorescent light is ok, night time is ok, but if I take a photo at daytime then all my photos turn up COMPLETELY white. Nothing but white. Even on cloudy days, it turns up almost completely white. I've tries playing with the camera settings, white balancing etc etc... nothing seems to help very much, they are all minor changes to the picture. anybody else having the same problem?

Re the firmware update: that's actually not Nokia's fault.
Basically, after Nokia have done their stuff with a firmware upgrade they release it to the networks for them to apply their branding etc to it. Once that's been done, then the upgrade is made available to customers via Service Centers and the Nokia Software Updater (NSU - part of PC Suite now).
Unfortunately, some networks are really lax at doing their bit - some actually don't to it at all.
So basically, your problem is with the Taiwanese network .. assuming you didn't get the phone SIM-free (ie: not subsidised by a network).
The only thing you could do is pay the Taiwanese network to unlock your phone, which I believe effectively makes it SIM-free so far as NSU is concerned. That would mean you could upgrade to the SIM-free version of the firmware (which is available, I guess) from the comfort of your own home.
Re the camera problem: I take it you've checked the shooting mode is NOT set to candlelight / night landscscape / night portrait and that you've played with all of the various options like white balance, exposure value, brightness and colour saturation etc?
Could be that one of those is out of whackMessage Edited by patc on 29-Mar-200711:26 AM
nice... someone who knows a bit more about what they're talking about than me...
umm yes i've played with all the settings like any owner of a gadget would when experience problems...
as for the phone... is there a way to find out if it's like... sim free or something?... i got the phone ONLY... meaning it came in it's good ol box... no sim cards or anything... i went to taiwan... picked up the phone... left the country... came to australia and got a vodafone sim card here... and now im stuck with a gay old firmware

PRINTER DISPLAY SCREEN ALMOST COMPLETELY WHITE (TOO BRIGHT/FADED/?)

I cannot read the images on my printer’s display (Product HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer - N911a). The images are there, but barely discernible. I can't put my finger on whether the screen is too bright or too faint, or the images are too light. The display is NOT blank or black (and the HP Troubleshooting solutions to correct those problems have not corrected my problem, ie Hard Power Reset, updated firmware, and adjusted brightness setting), just too bright or too faint. Even with the screen brightness on the darkest setting, I still cannot make out the images. Interestingly enough, at the end of the day yesterday, the screen self-corrected somehow, and was back to a readable display. However, it reverted back to the problem overnight.

Hi busymom51 & otcheryl,
I understand that your issue is not the same as the title of the troubleshooting guide listed above: The Touchscreen Does Not Respond, however the troubleshooting steps are the recommended steps to attempt the resolution. If you followed the steps and the issue is not resolved, try again to update the firmware.
If your 8600 is the N911a, try this firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware. The printer will need to be connected to a Windows computer via USB for the firmware update.
If the 8600 is the N911g or N911n, use this update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware. The printer will need to be connected to a Windows computer via USB for the firmware update.
If the firmware update does not help the dim display, contacting HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you would be the best option.
