I recently purchased an Emprex 5100Z, only to find a few weeks later that whenever I photograph a still image, there appears to be an extreme white hue (without flash). The white hue is so extreme that the object is unrecognizable. I tried contacting Emprex a month ago, but they haven't responded yet. No, I did not bash it against a counter.

In your last sentence you say what should be done, this is a forum for vintage cameras!

I believe I can safely say without a shadow of a doubt that the Emprex 5100Z will never, EVER, be considered a "Classic Camera".

well, I was abit desperate to find any sort of help for my camera. Apparently, the manufacturer itself is unable to reply even after one month.

We will be no help to you here. Whoever makes your camera probably makes the Pentax Optio S5z too. They look nearly identical when comparing an ebay ad to a Steve's Digicam test article.

Take it to a Pentax service center. If they can't help you, mark it up as a learning experience. Don't buy a price tag. In hi-tech stuff stick to the name brands.

Poor Rick is still trying to find Emprex in his 10 year old McKeown's...
