Hope you can help!

I bought a Nikon D50 3 weeks ago & I seem to be getting persistent problems with over exposure when using in aperture priority mode.

My trouble is I always question myself first as these camera's are a lot more complicated that the one I learnt on; a Praktica MTL5, (manual only); but then I keep going back to what I understand to be correct: in this mode I choose my priority of aperture then the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed.

I've been out this evening taking some random scenic shots about 2 hours before dusk and setting to F8 & F11; again well over exposed. Changed to manual with centre weighted metering & they're OK!

Is there something stupid I'm forgetting or would you advise a trip back to the shop for a replacement?

Thanks,

Al.
