Hi everyone, I hope someone here can help with the issues I'm having with my S90.
Some info - I've had this camera for awhile and use the Canon standard housing for it. I've taken some great pics with it! However lately the screen is so dark I can't even see the picture I'm taking. Outdoors above water it's fine but .as soon as I bring it inside (or underwater say) it's so dark I can barely see the picture on the display. Here's what I have the settings on for manual:
Flash off
1/125
F6.3
ISO 100
Underwater setting for the white balance (I post edit in Lightroom)
Even messing with the ISO and turning it up barely lightens it.
When I press the shutter button to the focus/1st stop, it corrects the color briefly as it focuses, then goes back to super dark. If I have the flash on the picture on the screen looks normal, but of course doesn't look like that when I actually take the picture. This seems to be a problem with the exposure setting (it's set to -2) but for the life of me I can't figure out how to change this in manual mode . These have always been the default settings for my camera and the fact that I can't fix it is driving me nuts. Help anyone?

Also I can set it to AV mode and am still able to set my Fstop and ISO...however when I press the button down halfway again to focus, the stabilization orange camera icon flashes on the screen, an unless I hold perfectly still (which obviously doesn't happen) the image comes out super blurry. I've never had this happen before either. This is so frustrating, I can't find any help at all on the web.
