Camera broken or user broken?

[scarolina]

Everytime I take a picture outside the picture is either completly washed out or I get faint outlines of objects. I have tried every setting to my knowledge and still can't get it to come out even remotely decent. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Which camera are you using, and post samples, please?

It is an E550. I will post some pictures tomorrow (5/10).

Typical picture...a few come out worse.

Unless you've done something really odd to the camera settings, that looks like a camera problem.

I agree with David. Even if you had the camera set to +3 EV exposure compensation, that wouldn't explain those two vertical lines in the photo. I think something's wrong with your camera. Can you take it back to where you purchased it?

Sounds like the same E550 problem this guy has:

I will buy this camera off of you for $40 if you are will to sell. Because I broke my LCD and I Need a New One.
Or if anybody else has this camera and the LCD Screen is still good. Email at parkerbball13@comcast.net
