Nat2,

Use a photo that you think is overexposed. Using the info button on your camera, look at the settings your camera chose.

Now, flip your camera over to Manual Mode and take the same picture under the same kind of conditions, but this time, manually dial in a faster shutter speed, or a smaller aperture.

(I suspect your shutter speed might have been too slow for a moving subjects in the original, but that's just a guess on my part.)

First do a full reset of your R5 Mk II. Now try again.

What exposure mode are you in?

You are not giving us much to go on. Can you share some examples?

Does the over-exposure go away when you use some other focus method?
