Default Olympus camera overexposes

Holding the camera up and using the display as the viewfinder, the exposure
looks normal. Pressing the shutter button results in an overexposed photo.

It doesn't matter if the flash is on or off; the resulting photo shown on the
LCD display is always overexposed.

Changing the exposure setting does have a little effect on the exposure.

I'm a bit confused; if the "before the shot" view in the display is accurate,
why would the exposed photo be different?

What might be the cause?

Thanks,
Dave


Are the pictures pale-looking even when you upload them to a computer?

Has the camera previously produced acceptable pictures?

Is thebattery OK?

Could be a fault in the exposure meter or in the 'firmware'.
