Perhaps you have the exposure compensation set. It doesn't automatically cancel unless the camera is set up to do that.
Best regards, John

Agreed but then would I not see the exposure compensation symbol (the square with the + and -) in the viewfinder? It's not showing.

Cracked it now. I have Auto Bracket (3 shots) turned on and have it set to 0, -, + order. So having taken just the one shot the '-' would be flashing for the next shot.

I'm taking a picture in Av mode (using multi segment metering), I half press the shutter, take a look at the viewfinder to check everything is ok, the EV bar is flashing dead centre and all the other indicators are to my satisfaction. I take the picture.
Looking back at the viewfinder, everything is still as it was but the EV bar is now flashing one notch below (under exposed). It does this every time.
Is this significant?
