Thanks for the advice,will try nd filter,thought that red thing was for backlight control...Just purchased a 310 XL AF, as new condition boxed,£30.00. bargin of the week i hope.

Hi
my canon 310xl is overexposing,what kind of light sensor does this camera have.After reading the article on the nizo s56,i wonder if a cds sensor is fitted if so can it be renewed.
