This week I noticed my screen brightness was a lot lower than I normally keep it. I thought maybe batteries? I charged them up and it seemed fine. Turn camera off and then back on it keeps resetting itself back to a really dim level. I change it to manual reset the brightness to what I want, turn camera off then on again, and it again resets itself. Any thoughts?

Thank you for the replies. I feel like a dumby. I was in a C1, once I changed to Manual everything was fine.
