Maybe it's something on the flash? I mean hey, nothing against Kodaks, good pics, but...my pics turned out liek that alot on my Kodak, too. I think it's something with the flash.

Oh, I totally understand about Kodaks...this would be our third But sadly, I guess my mom hasn't figured out that there ARE better cameras out there, lol.

Could be the flash...but it only happened once in a while.

See, this thread the pictures are all taken with the new camera, and most of them turned out!

It just boggles my mind

Thanks!

Well, that stinks..Maybe Kay can help , or...Sarah, or some of those other people who take awesome pics . Too bad your mom didn't get a Canon. The S2 IS is on sale at Circuit City right now. Good Luck in figuring this out!

It looks like it is just overexposed. Was the shot taken looking into the sun?

[slleipnir]

It does look a little over exposed, perhaps the background is light colored which is why it is so white, and since the dog is black, it shows up??...Is your background shiny or anything? It even looks like it's reflecting light?

What mode are you taking it on? I don't know about your camera, but I can set the exposure on my cam.

It's not the flash.

It's exposure. Try decreasing your exposure length.

The Kodak EasyShare line of cameras are not bad cameras. I don't know the C340's specifics off hand, but I have seen some decent photography from them. I will look up for you... but in the meantime, I imagine that like most digital point and shoots, you have some default settings - MANUAL is usually best until you learn how to adjust your settings in various other modes. This appears to be an outside shot, so there will likely be no flash required. It "is" an overexposure issue that is resulting with your white balance concentrated within the center spot of your subject crop (you might want to open up your aperature and white balance settings to monitor and average a larger area of the image format) - the black dog (you can see that the black dog is balanced for white by overal lightness and tonality of it's coat). Consequently, your lightest lights are being blown out. Give us a little bit more info on the settings you are using and wse will be better able to assist you!!!
