Is the flash mark displayed in the control
panel?

Is there strong light in the picture?

Was there something dark in the center of
the picture?

When the flash mark is displayed, the flash
will fire if the camera is in the fill-in flash mode,
even on a well lighted subject. Switch off the
flash mark, or close the built-in flash.

Adjust the exposure compensation or remove
the source of light from the picture.

If the center of the picture was dark, the
overall picture may appear too bright
whatever metering method you use. Try
switching to or center weighted
averaging metering , or you could use
spot metering by centering the subject
under the spot metering mark and then using
AE lock to achieve the correct exposure and
then take the shot.
