In auto a shot would be for example. 240 @ f9. In priority A the same shot was 3200 @ f9

Have not checked exposure comp settings, why would they change?
They change when you change them. Simply press the little +/- button on top of your body and look at the value displayed in your top LCD screen to show what the EC is set to. Dial it back to zero and shoot some more.

If this happens to anybody else, you can set all settings back to factory defaults.
Sometimes an obscure setting that you somehow chose, will really mess with your head. This time, with a little help from your hogs, you found it! Next time, if you can't or anybody else figure out the problem... google in plain English (this way of searching works for everything: photo... or any subject!!)

Anyways, it will wipe all unwanted settings, however it will also wipe all wanted ones, like copyright, name phone etc. etc. BUt if you are desperate and need to fix whatever now!
Glad you were able to find the problem!

The key thing to remember is that you have to press and 'hold' the reset buttons (green dots) until the top LCD screen flashes off & then on again. I tested this with my D90 with the exposure comp set to -2.3 and once I reset the camera, it was back to -0-

Soooo, shouldn't resetting the camera to default have cleared this? At least you know what the problem was...

Why reset the whole camera when you only need to reset one setting? Then you have to go back and change all your other settings back where you had them, providing you can remember them all.

Check the exposure compensation. If that's not set to +, take the lens off and then put it back on. If it's not seated properly it will not stop down. If that doesn't work, it may need a repair.
If it needs an expensive repair, it may be better to replace it.
OOPs, I didn't see that it was fixed.

I agree, just curious why, when the op reset the camera, exposure compensation didn't go back to zero.

Now that the camera is fixed, anyone know of a reasonable photo software that allows white balance adjustment. I know cs3 will but can't afford 600.00 for that. Thanks. DonB

Picasa is free and does that and more. I like Lightroom.
