    White out

    I have found, when taking a shot of anything white, with the harsh sun hitting it directly, the white completely washes out to almost a bright glare. It's whiter than can be described. It is so white it almost blinds me. However, the rest of the image is exposed properly. Is it my Panasonic P & S that is the problem or can this happen with any camera? I know I can reduce the contrast in camera, but I don't think that will do the trick, Any suggestions besides waiting for the sun to move?

    Thanks
