Moon shots

[hazmatde]

Same subject matter as another thread I started but different camera. Olympus C-3030z, how do I get decent shots of the full moon without that pesky white blob in place of the moon?

Lots of dark sky in the frame results in overexposure, which is what causes the moon to become a blob.

You need to force your camera to reduce the exposure of the shot. If you have manual controls, use them. If your camera only has Exposure Compensation, then dial it down a stop or two and see what you get.

If your camera alows spot metering, try using it. Put the spot on the moon.
