The image is whitish (Flare)./Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
- When pointing the lens toward the strong light source, excessive light enters the lens and the image may come out white (flare) or extraneous light (ghost images) may appear on the image, but this is not a malfunction.
When using the zoom lens, attach the lens hood.
Also, set up the composition so that you shoot images while avoiding backlit condition.
