Dark Exposer-6d

I just purchased a 6d.  There are two problems. When I take pictures in fairly good lighting with my apture at 4 and somehow a higher iso of 6000. I am still getting dark photos. Also my Speedlite (430EXIII-RT) only fires 50 percent of the time.

I'm almost positive its exposure compensation. EC doesn't work in manual or Auto. Reset to 0. See manual.

Don't know. What happens if you switch to Program?

In program mode it still stays at -2 no matter how I change the settings. 

What about in AUTO?

 

I think you may have accidentally dialed in -2 exposure compensation. Look it up in your manual.

The metering seems to work in manual and auto.

Will do and I will let you know. Thank you for your time in trouble shooting!

To quickly adjust exposure compensation on the 6D you lightly press the shutter to gain focus and then turn the jog wheel on the back (clockwise for + and anticlockwise for -)
