Never heard of this, except:

Don't hold your finger in front of the lens. :wink:

I have had this problem before. You have to take out the MicroSD card and re-insert it then do a soft reset then all is good.

Thumbs down Same problem here!!

I've got the same problem. It seems to black out when I take photos in bright daylight or bright lights. Could be an software problem related to the metering / exposure. Taking out the MicroSD card doesn't help.

That sucks! Will experiment once I get the battery charged up again

Dear HTC: What's the bloody point of SuperFine if all it takes is darkness?!?!

Well I did have a very ocassional problem with superfine setting and the old black picture problem. This thankfully is not a routine problem and I think it just happens if device gets short on memory. Since I moved virtually everything onto sd card and got an application to truly shut down running programmes it's never done it since - as I say it was only a sporadic problem anyway.

I have 27MB of free program memory fresh after a reset so I don't think that's quite a problem. Got a SanDisk Ultra II 2GB MicroSD card too. I've tried the Fine setting and it seems to work so far but I'm pretty annoyed I can't use SuperFine!

Go for the best!

Interesting, at the moment all I can say for sure is I had the problem and now it's gone, I had assumed a memory issue. Not necessarily amount of programme memory but perhaps cache size/fault.

Does yours not work on superfine when set to save to On-board, SD card or both?
