1. Check shutter speed.
Choosing a slow shutter speed in Shutter-Priority Auto or manual mode may cause overexposure.
Adjust exposure by choosing a faster shutter speed. Shutter speed can be adjusted by rotating the main command dial.
2. Check exposure compensation.
Selecting positive values for exposure compensation produces brighter images.

3. Enable auto ISO sensitivity control.
High ISO sensitivities can produce overexposure when lighting is strong.
Enabling auto ISO sensitivity control in modes P, S, A, and M allows the camera to adjust sensitivity if optimal exposure cannot be achieved at the selected value.
Auto ISO sensitivity control can be enabled by holding the ISO button and rotating the sub-command dial. Camera settings can be viewed in the control panel*, monitor, and viewfinder.
* Applies only to cameras equipped with control panels.

4. Check metering.
Matrix metering meters the entire frame, which may result in high-contrast subjects being overexposed.
Matrix metering may result in overexposure if, for example, the background is darker than the main subject.
Choose a metering option that suits your subject.
Metering options can be viewed by pressing the “i” button to display the “i” Menu, highlighting Metering using the multi-selector, and pressing OK.
