Try doing a reset to defaults thru your settings menu in case some setting is the cause

Are the photos overexposed due to slow shutter speeds?

Have you tried manual mode?

Are some of the photos overexposed due to slow shutter speeds?

Well, it looks like a serious malfunction that would need a visit to a repair facility.

Is it still on warranty? If not, the repair cost might be more than a replacement cost.

It most likely will cost more to repair it, used $150, new $250 on Amazon

Hi Jonboy71,

Thanks for posting.

Please set your camera to it's Tv (Time value- AKA Shutter priority) mode, then select a high shutter speed (e.g. 1/500 or 1/1000 second). For information about this mode, please click here.

Does your camera use a different shutter speed than the one you set?
