My canon eos 30 d flashes too powerfully and whiteing my photos can someone help

Hi all

When I take pictures my eos 30 d is too powerful for automatic photos I take and whiteing on the subject

I looked in my manual and can't see the answer

If the device worked properly, then started to overexpose in mode auto, most likely, you have changed some settings...

Go to the menu, select and use 'all clear camera settings. You can also go into the custom functions menu, select and click 'Reset all custom functions'.

As a last resort, you could do a "reboot" of the camera. It's a bit like rebooting a computer to clear incorrect instructions that are stuck in the memory.

To do a reset, first turn off the camera, then remove all of the batteries, including the money bit "battery memory" which is in a drawer inside the main compartment. Turn on the camera and press the shutter button once. It fires without batteries, of course. But this drains any residual power in the circuit.

Turn the power off, reinstall the batteries and turn it back on. Check the date and time. If you got a restart appropriate, they should be set to zero.

If you do not have a proper restart, you can use the same procedure, but instead of pressing the shutter button just leave the battery for about an hour. This should allow any residual power to drain it and cause a complete reset, too.

It can erase some of the settings you have made inadvertently, causing problems. Or it can erase a statement stuck in memory, string just as restarting a computer clears its memory and help it work better. (After all, devices digital photo is essentially the laptops. )

You might also consider relocation (upgrade, if necessary) the camera firmware. Sometimes, it can be damaged and giving problems. If you go to the website of Canon and research for 30 days, in the software category and downloads you will find the latest version of the software for the camera and instructions on how to install it. Follow the instructions carefully. It is not difficult, but it must be done according to the instructions, or there is a risk of "bricking" of the camera.

Finally, it could be a bad communication between the camera and lens. Some flashes use data of distance from the lens to help the force of the power of the flash. Remove the lens and clean the contacts. Usually the best way to proceed is to wipe the contacts Golden at the rear of the lens with a clean cloth which is slightly moistened with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing cheap alcohol is fine). Just pay attention to leave the lens optics and do not touch the mirror inside the front of the camera or the screen right above the mirror.

Also, you can check the pins 'spring' corresponding to the contacts on the lens to work correctly. Gently press on each spindle and watch it springs in place. Sometimes, these can be sticky, causing problems of communication between the camera and the lens.

Factory default of compensation and/or reboot the camera that you will lose a few other settings you did and you will need to go into the menu to manually redo all the parameters you use regularly.

All these are things you can do yourself and which costs nothing to try. They may or may not help. If so, great. If not, you will need to have a repair technician look at the camera. Either find someone local who can work on it or send it to Service Dept. Canon
