Hello all,


I just got this Camera, and it takes pretty good pictures...most of the time....The setting isn't important...but for those of you who know the area I was at Ontario Place in Toronto on saturday...the weather was Overcast with Sun coming out later in the day...

I had about 14 shots come out very dark, essentially black ( you could make out very faint details). I had the camera on Auto, the shots were both into the direction of sunlight cloud covered and with the light behind me...It seems that whenever the clouds were in the focusing point that would darken the image? Does that seem normal? Should it not be capable of figuring out the scene? I could understand if I were aiming into direct sunlight which would close the aperature and increase shutter speed?

At the end of the day I was hoping for a nice shot of the CN Tower over the water, but the image was all greyish dull.

It's my fault I thought I had the camera all figured out and didn't check every shot, but was very surprised by the bad shots.


I'm going to do more test shots to see where it is going wrong, one thing I noticed is in Auto mode I had High speed shooting set to ON ( nothing else can be configured in auto). I checked the manual and it only says this is used for fast focusing, doesn't mention anything else?

Any advice /experience would be helpful? It may not be the Camera...just me...Like I said I can understand if I am aiming right at the bright sky, but not if it is a split.

Just wondering how you would deal with it?
