How are you measuring the exposure? Don't forget you have to take an exposure measurement and adjust the camera settings to give the correct exposure. The bar graph in the viewfinder should be centred to obtain the camera's exposure recommendation.
However, if that's all we do it might as well be set to Av instead. Set the aperture, let the camera select the shutter speed.
Clearly using the flash all the time is not intended and something in the technique used is a bit amiss. It would be easier to show you how to use manual settings than decribe it, but perhaps go back to auto, establish that all is well. Then practice with making the settings manually.
Hi John you are so kind and helpful, I have done as you told me too and Yes I've got it right, so thank you very much again, this is such a good place to be.

I have been using the manual setting in the K-x and find that I always have to use the fill in flash, otherwise the photo is to dark, I have bought a flash that fits in the hotshoe and have used this one too. Am I doing something wrong by having to use the flash all the time even in bright conditions? your help is always appreciated, thanks in advance Trixie.:

Thanks everyone, I took a chance and I've done it, not used the camera today! but out with it tomorrow so I can see if anything looks like its improved David Storm thinks there maybe an improvement in the battery meter. Cheers Trixie

Nigel, in the K-x there is a raw and Jpeg programme that you can use have you found that one yet in your camera you have a K5 it will probably have the same setting, cheers Trixie :
