I recently had some photos that were seriously over-exposed. I don't RECALL changing any settings, but a friend said he looked at the EXIF on my files and made the following recommendations to me:

 

1) You have "Easy Exposure Compensation" enabled in the menu. If you're not using Exposure Compensation, I would turn this setting off.

 

2) Exposure Compensation is set in camera to +1.7. This explains your exposure issues. 

 

3) You have AF Fine Tune turned on but no adjustments specified. If you don't need this feature, please turn it off.

 

I found out where to turn off the Easy Exposure Compensation, fine, that's one!

 

But I had a look through the PDF manual for these other 2 things and I can't find them. I certainly don't recall trying to set them and I've had the camera for years and use it often. To be fair, the over-exposures just started happening recently so maybe I messed these up while I was trying to fix something else? Who knows?

 

Where to I find these last 2 settings in the menu system?

Never mind - I found AF Fine Tune in the Setup menu and I reset the Exposure Compensation = 0. I suspect I changed the Exp Comp by mistake after I had switched to a back button focus and didnt have the grip right to focus and press the shutter release. I need bigger hands maybe.
