Hi Phil.

This picture is over exposed with no detail in the flower to the left.

One way around this is to use the +/- ( EV ) button with the dial to to bring down the exposure a little. Usable in mode scene modes and P and A and S modes. Possibly by only -2/3 EV. One way to know if this is happening is to get to know how to read a histogram. Angie D has done a tutorial about it.

The  histgram is viewable on a lot of Fuji cameras on playback of the picture in camera. See your manual to confirm.

Ray's answer may be different to mine but my own view is that you should use the right setting for what you are taking - and OK I know you'll say 'I don't know the right setting' but this is the way you will learn. Learnng how to balance the light which is reaching the sensor is the first thing you have to learn - fast shutter or small aperture both allow less light to reach the sensor, Slower shutter or wider aperture allow more light - the trade off is where your own understanding of the scene comes in to play. Very bright sunlight and very still day - the best choice may be a small aperture - so choose Aperture priority and set the aperture small. The camera will adjust the shutter. From that initial decision you can judge the photo on the viewing screen and adjust the aperture, the shutter, the ISO, the EV. Working from that point adjusting as you go you will find what works best in that setting. If it is a breezy bright day then a fast shutter is necessary to prevent motion blur so put the camera on Shutter priority and set a fast shutter speed. Again work from those settings - judge how close the settings you have are to what you need. May be a bit laborious but you will get quicker and more intuitive. (Just my thoughts)

It looks from the Exif above as though you had the flash on - it probably wasn't necessary as it looks as though it was a bright sunny day.
