Default Olympus camera overexposes

If the picture is consistently misexposed, then the exposure-compensation
control (assuming the camera has one) should fix the problem.


Compensation doesn't fix the problem, it fixes the symptom. The problem
remains.
The compensation range on this camera is +/- 2 stops and this is not

enough.

If it doesn't, then the camera needs repair or replacement.


I'm asking questions to find out what the cause is. Repair options to be
considered after this is determined.


If +/- 2 stops isn't enough to compensate, then the camera is either grossly
misdesigned, or it's defective. The "cause" is immaterial, as a properly
designed and operating camera should not show this problem (or symptom, as
you prefer).
