something strange

[widdleyummycookie]

i don't know if i've posted this in the right section or not but can anyone tell me if it's possible my boyfriend pointing the camera at the sun has damaged my camera? he was trying to get the plane and the sun was somewhere behind it and it has come out like this.


and while i'm at it, is this a burnt out pixel?

could it be from pointing it at the sun?

ANNNNND lol does anyone know y this could have come out so dark?


this one is of the same flower a couple mins later just from a different angle


thanks

With the dark flower, what are the EXIF details? Did the flash fire?

Heyyyyyy,

First image, I have no idea about.

The second, looks a bit more like dust. Take another photo, do it stay in the same spot? A burnt pixel will be in the same spot in every photo. Make sure the lens is clean.

3rd, my guess is the flash went off but was covered up. Either that or it was on manual mode and set to a very small (f/20something) apperture.

First image looks like blooming. Too much bright light on the CCD can cause this effect sometimes and it should not damage your camera. That hot pixel is a hot pixel if it turns up on every shot...otherwise it's probably nothing to wory about. Check your EXIF to see if your settings caused the dark shot.

Image #1: What Matt said. That's typical; you've well and truly blown the highlights; the CCD simply can't cope with what you're shooting.

Image #2: Examine the image at full size, noting exactly where on the image this is occurring. Compare that with several other images, looking at the the same location, and again, at full size. If you see this in every image, then yes, you have a hot pixel.

Image 3: we need more information; please provide the exif data, but the bottom line is that it's heavily underexposed.

And please also place your location into your profile.
