When I take photos outdoors when the sun is out, they come out too bright. What setting should I have my digital camera on to prevent this?

If you taken outdoor when sun is out,you should use Shutter Speed at 1/500secs and Aperture at f/22 or f/32, it would give you best quality images.

You could set your aperture to 8,11,16,22 it depends how strong is the light, or set the shutter speed to 1/125 or higher, you can use flash just set the right shutter speed and aperture. Good luck

i think that you have been taking your pictures facing the sun, that's why all your pictures have been overexposed.
you should take your pictures with the sun to your back or failing that, with something blocking the sun or avoid having the sun facing directly into your lens.
if you want to have backlighting then you need to overexpose your picture, because what you have in the foreground will end up being underexposed and dark due to the contrast.
happy shooting!!

Just check your compensation button (the + and - ) if it is set properly. If your picture turns out too bright, just adjust compensation towards negative until you get the proper exposure.

Actually, just set your watch instead. Shoot for 1/2 hour after dawn and 1/2 hour before sunset. Otherwise, you get what you've seen.
