It sounds like you have either bumped the FEC (Flash Exposure Compensation) control or the camera isn't metering the flash correctly. Try bumping up the FEC and seeing if that works. Also, check your metering (center-weighted, evaluative, etc.) to make sure that the camera is selecting the area of the photo that you want to be properly exposed.

Check your exposure compensation settings. They will add or subtract from what the camera normally comes up with. Read you manual to find out how to check.

My Canon Rebel XT is overexposing shots in the Auto and Program mode by 1 or 2 stops. How do I fix this or compensate for it?
You can go into "exposure compensation" and lower the setting as you desire. It's the button that's half-black/half-white with a plus and minus.

Canon Digital Rebel XT auto focus
Auto Focus does not determine exposure. Only sharpness. "Wrong" exposure could be due to the metering mode being set in Spot Metering. Set it back to Evaluative Metering which may improve the overall even exposure of your shots. Test your shots in full auto or P mode. M (Manual) mode will require you to check the exposure setting manually (you can see the indicator in the viewfinder when you half-press the trigger)

Flash won't open on Canon Rebel XSi? It has been working fine but yesterday I went to take a picture and the flash wouldn't open. It won't open on any setting and it won't open if I push the manual flash...
The openning flash button only works on non automatic shooting modes.
On creative zone (automatic options with predefined options) the flash will rise automatically, based on the current exposure conditions. On "Flash Off" mode won't rise the flash ever.
Let me know, please if it solve the problem

Auto focus does not work in creative modes
That is a custom function of the camera that can be change back to default with ease. While in one of the creative zones press the menu button and navigate to the 5th and final tab on the top right. 8f5da8f.jpg
This is the Setup menu 2. In this menu, select “Custom Functions (C. Fn)” . This will open a submenu of numbered options. Select #04 and set it to 0: the default AF/AE lock on a half depress of the shutter. 7528356.jpg
That should get your camera back to the expected auto focus with the shutter button.

No AF point display indicator in Creative Zone modes.
In creative mode I would imagine that you are required to choose the focus point. Try the arrow buttons.

Dark exposures
This could be many things. If indoors, use higher iso setting and/or use the flash. Make sure exposure compensation is set to 0, or raise it. Use one of the automatic programs and let camera pick shutter speed and aperture. In manual mode, pay attention to exposure value in viewfinder, and avoid using higher apertures unless outdoors in bright sun (f16, f22, etc) the higher this number the less light is allowed to camera.

What's causing my Canon Rebel XT EOS to write files into separate folders - and how do I fix it? My Canon Rebel XT EOS is writing each photo to its own folder instead of grouping by 100s as it used to. I then have to manually erase each one, too - can't delete them all at once once I've transferred them to my laptop. Any suggestions?
