why some pictures appear cloudy or underexposed My parents have a point & shoot Samsung film camera. They can not consistently get good pictures out of the thing. On one roll of film, only 2 pictures turned out, the rest of the negatives were greyish cloudy blanks. On the second roll, only half the pictures were properly exposed. Two shots taken at the same time of the same thing, and only one would turn out. The second one would have a cloudy greyness to it. Looking at the index card of the roll, it is clearly visible that half the picture scattered all through out the roll are underexposed, grey, and cloudy. They use Fuji film, never had a problem before with it. And they are not "camera-dumb". This is a newer camera for them and it just does not seem consistent. Is this a camera problem, or a developing problem?

Offhand, it sounds like the camera might have a light leak or that the film might have been exposed to some kind of light/radiation. : The other possibility is that the film might have been badly stored before you bought it for use. Bad batch and all that. Could also be the developing lab. -_-; If the camera is malfunctional, it could be the sensor in the camera is off or that the camera is stuck in a particular mode. The shot which did come out, were they clean and sharp or was there a greayness to them as well, but just less so?

Funny thing is that the ones that did turn out looked great! Could it have been from the scanners at the airport? They were travelling and the worst film was the one that was already in the camera. They likely put it in their carry-on on the way there and their baggage on the way back. It just seemed odd because the bad pictures were scattered throughout the whole film, not just in one spot and there were great shots in between.
