Overexposed photos with 35 f/1.8 DX on D3300
Ok, this is somewhat embarassing, but I was trying to show off my 35mm f/1.8 DX prime to a Nikon newbie, and I ended up looking like an idiot. We were indoors during the day in low to moderate lighting, but the majority of my photos came out horrendously overexposed. My camera was set to Aperture Priority, but wide open I was getting shutter speeds of a few seconds for an ISO of 800. I had to bump ISO up to 3200 or higher to get reasonable shutter speeds (1/50 or less). Anyone else experience this behavior and know offhand what setting could have caused this? Thanks in advance!
