Why does the sun turn black when I take a picture of it?

Answer 1

I don't know. It looks bright in all my pictures! There must be something about your camera that cannot handle very bright objects.

Answer 2

We would have to know the type of the camera used. See, probably it's a diaphragm problem. You know that, when there's too much luminosity the diaphragm closes, and when there is few, it opens. It's the same principle used by our eyes. That's why when you take a picture of someone with a non sequential flash the eyes turn red. The sequential flash works like this, by flashing several times when you press the button to take a picture, it "leads" your eyes to close the pupils. The redness you see in pictures is blood in the back of your eye when your pupils are dilated.
