The Exif shows exposure comp at zero, ISO at 200 and aperture at f11, I had the ISO on auto at this point and camera in Aperture priority at f11.Does it exhibit the same fault in both portrait and landscape orientation?
By metering 90 degrees to the left I was able to get a more sensible exposure setting.
I had read about the sticking aperture blades, but if I shoot manually it seems to be fine? On one X100 forum post I read however someone had sent their camera back to Fuji to be told this was the issue (apparently common with this camera). He was told it was being fixed and was awaiting return, but also made the comment he had no problem when exposing manually.
Yes, same problem in Landscape.

What is the ISO of the over exposed image?
The reason I ask is I just got an overexposed image using auto ISO because the default ISO level set was higher than the required ISO.
Let me say that another way.....
The camera is set with auto ISO ON (max of 3200ISO and slow shutter of 1/20th)
I flicked the lens to f2 and shutter speed to 1/250th. It is unusually, a sunny day outside.
The camera ISO had been left on 2000 from previous use...far too high for the settings and conditions today, so it created an overexposed image like yours.
What surprised me is that the auto ISO didnt kick in and reduce the ISO from the too high camera setting.
On my camera .....Auto ISO adjusts UP when I have too low a default ISO setting for the available light and settings...but doesnt bother to adjust DOWN if I have it already set at an ISO above what auto ISO thinks is ok !!!!!
