Solution
When the flash mark is displayed, the flash

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.
Solution
If the flash mark is blinking, this is a
warning that the subject is too dark and you
should use the flash. Use the flash.
