Rich- One thing you didn't mention... Were you using OVF or EVF? The metering and focusing CAN be more exact in cases like this by using EVF. You can also set the size of the focus and metering square in the EVF mode to quite a small spot. Try that on the same scene and you might have the answer. Like others have stated, when I've had this problem, it has been a problem between my two ears. Most common, the ev dial, next most, aperture too wide or all the way open unintentionally. I pretty much always use the auto ISO and the only times I haven't liked that is in very low light where I want faster than my set minimum shutter speed, so I just go manual on that shot. Let us know if you work it out. I had to call Fuji support in USA one time and found they were really really really nice and helpful. Tom

There is also one instance that this over exposure can be induced. If you switch the camera on and almost instantly take a shot then this will happen. You need to power on then do a 1/2 shutter press then release and then do another 1/2 shutter press, before triggering.

Rich Have you stopped the aperture right down to minimum and set the lowest Iso ....in dark conditions ....to get the shutter speed a lot slower? The reason why I ask is, I recently broke a bit of a lens mount and I now periodically get way overexposed images. I noticed that the incidence of overexposed images was greater when using fast shutter speeds....or should I say short exposure lighting sitauations. I reasoned that the damaged mechanism was impeding the action and erroneously extending the exposure. Of course this error had greater significance with short exposure situations. I managed to get by, fixing the Iso lower than necessary and using smaller than usual apertures to extend the exposure time. It's off to Nikon now for repair. But I do wonder if something is dragging its feet in the Fuji and needs servicing?
