DSC-WX9 Overexposed in natural lighting, solution?

[stagebuilder]

Hello,


I also posted this in the Point and Shoot > Sony section.


I purchased a DSC-WX9 a year ago off of Ebay since my older Cybershot had been sent to Sony for repairs, except when I got it back, it wasn't fully functional. Anyway, that's another post. So the WX9 has been great except a few weeks ago I took some pics outside at a playground and the images were over exposed. The weather was cloudy overcast. Today, in sunshine, I tried all the shooting modes and even tried changing the exposure setting to the darkest one. The outside images are still washed out and overexposed. If I shoot inside, away from natural lighting, the images look normal. Like with the exposure setting on darkest, the images come out dark as I would expect.

Can anyone tell me if I need to get the camera repaired or is there a setting or a reset mode I'm missing? The camera was not dropped or bumped to my knowledge.

Thanks.
