Well, the settings certainly seem correct for a subject in daylight shade. I would guess that either the lens is malfunctioning, with the aperture closing down more than it should (for example, to f/22 instead of f/5.6), or the camera's ISO is not working right. Perhaps changing to another lens will fix the problem.
The problem came and went. It only existed for 12 out of several hundred shots. It is a Nikon lens on a Nikon camera.
