My husband has a Sony Cybershot camera. Recently, I tried to take a few pictures with it. I don't really know that much about it, and didn't realize that the last time any pictures were taken w/it, that it was set up for a long exposure time (my husband had been taking nighttime shots). I left the exposure time the way it was, not knowing, and took pictures in broad daylight. Now, whenever we try to take a picture, it comes out overexposed and grainy? Did I destroy his camera? Is there any way to fix it? Please help. Thanks.

You need to change the "ISO" setting. I'm guessing your camera is set to 1600 or 3200 ISO. Go into your camera's menu and bump the ISO down to 400. That will fix the problem. Your camera is not broken.

I dont think that would break a camera. I hope your husband doesn't blame you. If he spent 900 on a camera he should know enough about it to realize that cant cause any damage. I would suggest just using your warrenty. My father recently had to send his sony camera back to the factory for a repair free of charge.

take it to best buy or comp usa and ask if they can fix it,or fine a reputable camera store maybe they can fix it.
first check the color settings, then check the pixels size of picture reduce them to med size,and last if possible rest the program on the camera to start from beginning ,you'll most likely louse every thing but it might cure it.
good luck

Nope. Magnets is not going to impact your digicam in anyway. It would possibly not impact the LCD reveal, both. CRT tv displays use magnetic fields to persuade cathode rays to the reveal -- LCDs don't. Peace.

Take it to a camera repair shop (Wolf, Ritz, Best Buy) and ask them to look at it. They will charge a fee but then you will know.

there is a possibility that you might have damage the CCD sensor
Try adjusting the white balance, the shutter speed, it may help a little.
