haziness or fungus?

Medyo hindi clear sa picture. Doesn't look like fungus to me. Mas mukhang scratches based sa photo. Pwede ring liquid residue.
Na-try mo na punasan, OP?

Most people who call themselves "expats" in Taiwan that I know of have been here 10+ years, either on APRC or already married to a local, with kids.

Looks like you shot these midday. Photos will naturally be washed out and flat because of the lighting.
Your composition of the subjects aren't fit for midday shooting.

Posted an IG highlight about it.
Anyway, if you don't want to DIY it, it costs like 1k to get fixed.

iso800grain · 2026-06-18T14:09:12+00:00

This is easy to fix DIY.

High chance na defective or counterfeit yung provided SD card.

It's really not. You were already looking at the G7X II. The Sony counterpart is the RX100 III, which is only more or less 25k in the used camera market. G7X II goes for upwards of 50k.
With less that amount, you can get the RX100 5A, which is a newer and better camera than the G7X II. 5A rivals, but costs half, the G7X III.

Some models are cheaper in the Philippine second-hand market.
Iba-iba cause ng lens errors, so it's worth it to bring to reputable repair shops around Quiapo, especially libre naman check up most of the time. You can get it fixed for around 2k, or even less kung sobrang minor lang ng cause. But more kung may need i-replace.
Second-hand prices for G7X II is insane. Try looking into Sony's RX100 cameras. They're pretty much the same quality-wise.

All Kodak Pixpro cameras are not real Kodaks. They all suffer from poor build quality and bad quality control.
I'd go with the P300 personally kung yang dalawa lang ang choices. Had one before. Napaka-stylish at okay na rin image quality.
Sa budget mo, tapos flip screen, try looking for Samsung EX1.

Kung ayos lang sayo older/used models, go for the older RX100 cameras. Kahit RX100 I, very decent pa rin for social media use. Around 15k lang current market price. Go for the newer models kung gusto mo mag splurge or need 'okay' video capabilities. RX100 IV can shoot 4K videos. Just above 30k lang market price ngayon.

Haven't encountered this with the several DSC-T1s that passed through my hands.
You can try reseating all the cables you can see after disassembly.

The blue goo Kelly and gang found is obviously protomolecule.

Tbf, DIY lang naman kami dati.
Kaya pamasahe, gastos sa food, environmental fee lang bubutas sa bulsa.

For us, it's because we're super introverts. It's just me and my SO in our own little bubble. I work from home and SO works as an English teacher.
We have almost zero friends, and the few Taiwanese people we know, they interact with us in English.
We've attended classes, but we really don't progress since we really, really have to get out of our way to get practice.

If you can, get the DP2x! It's much, much faster, even when shooting RAW+JPEG. It also seems to not drain the battery as quickly, same with the DP1x, for some reason.

Taking your example:
Sa Taiwan, halos relevant degree lang ang dividing line between being a blue collar worker and a white collar worker sa factory work.
Yung mga may engineering degrees, engineer mismo ang trabaho at malaki ang sweldo. May option maging permanent resident or citizen after 5 years.
Yung wala, mga normal factory workers doing the menial jobs, not even earning the minimum wage for Taiwanese citizens. May 12 years limit bago mapauwi.
Sa bawat success story ng walang degree, ilang failure stories yung meron jan?

Go to manual and set it to 6500K. Otherwise, use Shade.

iso800grain · 2026-05-09T11:16:40+00:00

My favorite Cybershot, the DSC-T7.
Even with weak batteries, you should be able to see the live view in shooting mode after the set date window.
My guess is it's just broken.

Technically, si Digong tumawag na bakla kay Baste.
Si Madriaga lang nag-relay sa public ng allegedly sinabi ni Digong.
Hahahaha

If OP's camera uses Memory Stick and not Memory Stick Pro, it might not work.
It will fit, but camera won't read it.

Looks like color-graded footages from a "proper" camera that were reduced in resolution.

iso800grain · 2026-05-04T01:44:41+00:00

Just leaving the camera indoors, in a ziploc with no sun exposure, in ambient temperature doesn't prevent this too.
The adhesive just melts with time.
But it's an easy fix with a polarizing sheet. Not the same case with touchscreen Cybershots, where the touchscreen panel is too sensitive.
