You can correct this unwelcome side effect several ways. Sunlight skews the averaging, causing underexposure. The internal light meter averages the values of the light and dark areas you see through the lens, and your camera’s internal program uses these values to set the exposure for the complete scene.

The problem is often due to incorrect exposure caused by your camera’s automated features and extreme light levels entering the lens. The bright light and harsh shadows may hide the person, place, or thing you specifically want to capture. Sometimes, though, that sunshine can work against you.

Whether you’re a professional, a tourist or just a weekend photo hobbyist, there’s nothing like taking a few pictures in the great outdoors on a bright, sunny day.
