Well if your friend still uses Zenit film cameras, I guess the vast amount of advertising over the years from Canon and Nikon has passed him by too.So a bit of advertising from them would do them the world of good.

So a higher shutter speed might be of benefit ?. I don't understand why Auto Mode has chosen such poor settings when in the past most pictures taken in Auto mode have been fine, i better check the mode dial as something doesn't seem right here.
The camera is doing its best to give you a correct exposure for the lighting conditions.So a higher shutter speed might be of benefit ?.

It chose a shutter speed of 1/3 second
Aperture of 5.6 (max aperture on your lens is f4)
ISO of 3200
The camera is doing its best to give you a balanced exposure. To get a higher shutter speed it would need to use f4 and say a ISO of 12,800. That would give you a shutter speed of about 1/30 second. You would get an image with less camera shake but a very noisy one due to high ISO.
The exposure triangle is a fixed constant for the available light. You cannot beat the physics. You should use flash in these situations, or a tripod.

I really cannot fathom why a camera repairer is unable or unwilling to service every make of camera; ok there is a difference between mirrorless and DSLR/SLR/rangefinders but within those categories they are pretty much all built the same way.

Is there a simple explanation for the EXIF omissions?
If the photo in question has been posted to another website first, then downloaded and saved, before being uploaded to the PU gallery it is possible the first website stripped the exif. Facebook is one such website that strips all the exif out of a posted image.
I notice a number of my much older photos have no exif. I just uploaded a recent one and the exif is intact. Perhaps at some point in the past this website was responsible for stripping the info inadvertently.
