ive had a smilecam running for years now....what i did to solve the problem
was i used the lens cover that came with the camera...took an old pair of
sunglasses and made a sun lens....

this worked so well i made one for my other smilecam.....

but saying that the camera has a few settings yu can play with too....so
altering the exposure and stuff can make a difference too....

a smilecam.....with a sunglass lens fitted...!
