Default Olympus camera overexposes

Olympus FE-20 p&s digicam.

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


What do the negatives look like?
