Canon 80D pictures a overexposed

[Assaf]

i just cant get my head around it.

the pictures looks good on live view. the histogram looks fine when i take the picture its completly overexposed.
i have being told it might have something to do with the lens im using is very old (manual 50mm 1.8 olympus)
but this lens worked great with my old camera (600D)

is there any reason for why the camera is suddenly decided to give me a headache?

Go to the menu and make sure the Live View has the Simulation Enabled option activated.  Then what you see on live view is what you will get.

it was already opened, well i guess it means i have to get a new lens.

(manual 50mm 1.8 olympus)

What does olympus mean here?

If it is a totally manual lens, no wonder that the camera is confused.

"What does olympus mean here?"

It means the lens is faulty or doesn't work with a 80D.

Olympus is just the name of company made the lens (i think)

any i dont think its fulty just outdated 😞

any way i like someone already saids good thing those kind os lenses are usualy the affordable ones

[ebiggs1]

"...the affordable ones..."

Not if they don't work! A used ef 50mm f1.8 is affordable at approx. $50 bucks and they work.

not sure you understood what i was talking.
i was talking about finding replacements those lens (even recent models) are relativly affordable.

 tommorow im going to get my self cannon 50mm 1.8 STM.
pritty sure this one is going to work just fine 🙂

Great, it will work just fine.  Sometimes when you try for too affordable, you wind up spending more money.

i already learned that lesson... the hard way 😞

The good thing, you learned something.  Sometimes education can be expensive, too.
