Why is my DSLR taking white pictures?
Photography Asked by user3624251 on March 20, 2021
I have a 14-years old Nikon D50 (approx. 13,000 shots) and it started to taking white pictures only, sometimes I can see something (example below). After some time the pictures were OK. So I took it some trip to make photos and it was making nice pictures again. But then suddenly again only white photos. Sometimes they are not entirely white, but mostly yes. I tried different settings, M,P,A, fully-automatic, landscape but nothing helped. I tried two different lenses.
When I switched to burst mode and set the program "Sports", the first photo is white but then it can shoot like more than 10 normal photos.
What can be the mistake?
One Answer
It looks like the shutter is not functioning correctly. If the shutter gets stuck at some point while it is closing, you'll get some kind of image in the area of the sensor where the shutter was working properly, then white for the rest, with light spilling over into the darker area. That's exactly what your image looks like.
You need to send your Nikon in for repair, either to Nikon or a place that can service Nikons.
