You've got one area very bright (sky) and the other very dark (presume 'Rottie' is a dog), the camera chose to go for an exposure close to the Rottie's dark tones which made the sky 'burn out' and go white. When you viewed it on the back, the flashing highlight warnings in the sky were telling you 'this area is so bright there's no detail here at all.' But that's OK because you were taking a pic of the Rottie - not the sky. Hope this helps... Mike Hi Kevin
