Yeah i get it, the sun is bright but are there some methods to prevent it?

And how would one describe a burnt sensor?

'Oh man, this sun came out from NOWHERE and I was taking a picture in that direction at the time'

If there isn't anything in the manual about not shooting into the sun (there probably will be) then you may just be able to pull it off. I'm pretty sure you're screwed if they gave you a warning about it though...

You want to avoid that? Shorter exposure. Which will also keep it from fucking up your sensor. The overall shot will be much darker though.

If tl;dr
The sun part of the image is burning out so much that all detail has been lost and is now pure white. Either you can take the picture again at a lower exposure and copy/paste it over... or deal with it. Sorry.

As for shooting directly at the sun with a digital sensor? I've done it shitloads of times and had no problem but like>>121035
said, I'd check your manual first, that way you can claim ignorance if it does ruin your sensor and get a new one on your warranty.

Oh, about the latitude thing, digital cameras have a lower latitude than film so therefore can't deal with anything too many f. stops one way or another [as it works the other way, if something is too dark then no detail is picked up] I don't know the amount of f. stops brighter/darker it would have to be to completely burn out though.
