I picked up a refurbed XT from my local camera shop and I've been playing around with it for a few days. I cannot get any decent pics out of it on anything but full manual mode. They are all overexposed. On M, I let the camera meter the shot and then I adjust the aperture and/or shutter speed to bring the exposure into the center. When I adjust the aperture in Av or shutter in Tv (or nothing in P) the meter is always pegged at the 2+ and it adjusts the picture to be overexposed. I can check the metering by putting the camera back into M and if I use the settings it recommended in another mode, it will always show overexposed. I've checked the AEB setting and it's set in the middle. I'm a bit unfamiliar with the camera, but this just seems wrong. Any opinions? I can't just take it back to the store right now as I'm on travel for work.
