EOS 70D High ISO required in bright daylight

Hello,

I have a 10 year old canon 70D camera. I typically shoot with the EOS 70D EF-S 18-135 mm IS on. This is the same one I got with the camera 10 years ago. 

I’ve been noticing in the past ~3 years that even in broad daylight and lowest aperture available. To get a decent shutter speed for movements, I’m having to put my ISO at 800 plus. 

I didn’t used to have to be that high in ISO while outside in a bright sunny day. Not sure what has changed or any suggestions to fix? High iso is killing my photos in noise.

Do you have a filter on the lens on your DSLR?

I couldn't find the EXIF data in the DSLR image, but you should be able to see it on the camera in playback.

The phone photo lists the settings used as 1/1700 f/1.8 ISO 80.

I would hope that the DSLR image is manual, with f/16 ISO 100 and shutter 1/100 - The sunny f16 rule that I asked for.

Yes that was how the camera image was taken. No lens filter those manual settings. 

Do you have another canon lens to try?
