D200 taking photo that are on the dark side

I am new to this D200 camera. I may have accidentally changed a setting I do not know about. The camera is taking photos inside on the dark side. I have to use Photoshop to lighten them up then they look great. Any suggestions? Anyone know how to set the camera back to the factory defaults?

Thanks

on my d-100 there are 2 green dots one on top by the flash button, one on bathe back bellow the bracket button. turn camera on, press both simoltaneously camera will reset. that is what the green dot means. check and see if you set your format to raw, they tend to gbe darker. Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. ( sorry, could not resist. dang yoda and his jedi mind tricks)

If you're shooting in aperture or shutter priority, check your EV. It may be set on the minus side.
