Stefan, I think you have it! In my ignorance I thought that Auto Pict meant everything was set to a default setting and all I had to do was release the shutter. I have tried it indoors just now with adjusting the EV and it seems fine. I imagine it will be fine in the daylight tomorrow.
Thanks very much

I have checked the shots I took earlier and the Exposure Compensation on the whiteouts was 8.............

Hi
had the standard lens on, Pentax DA 18-55 F3.5-5.6 AL II. Have tried what you said (checked contacts) but no difference. If I go into Fn and put the flash in wireless mode (off)and then take a shot in daylight in Auto pict, I get a screen full of white, absolutely no definition whatsoever. Weird............. If I put it in Auto flash or "on" I can take a shot but obviously if there is plenty of natural light I am getting over exposed.

Hi
I bought a K200D last December whilst abroad and I have used it very little. I noticed after taking some shots (on Auto Pict) in September that they were way over exposed. Not really knowing much about photography, I thought maybe I had altered a setting without realising. However I have just been out experimenting with it and the same thing is happening. Even in bright conditions the flash is popping up and going off. This of course gives me a horrible picture! Then I turned the flash off and all I got was a whiteout. The only way I can get the camera to take a normal picture is on the "M" setting on the dial. Can anyone help?
Thanks

PS-It also eats batteries and hates even top grade/output rechargeables.
