  If your Olympus Digital Camera picture is too bright, there could be several reasons. First, check if the exposure correction is set in the positive direction and return it to 0. Then, move the metering area to the area where you want to obtain optimum exposure. Also, cancel AE lock if it's active with a longer exposure time. Reset the input highlight level adjustment and adjust the optimum level again. Finally, reduce the microscope illumination intensity or engage an ND filter to reduce brightness.

  If the picture from your Olympus Microscope is too bright, consider the following possible causes and solutions: * Exposure correction is set in the + direction. Return the exposure correction value to 0 and set the desired exposure correction value. * The metering area is set to a dark area outside the region of interest. Move the metering area to the area where you want to obtain optimum exposure. * AE lock, which was set when the exposure time was longer than the currently required exposure time, is active. Cancel AE lock. * The input highlight level adjustment is too low. Reset the current level adjustment and adjust the optimum level again. * The microscope illumination is too bright. Reduce the microscope illumination intensity or engage an ND filter to reduce brightness.
