All of my outdoor photos are overexposed so I took my camera to a friends 
house who has a shutter speed tester thingi.  It was looking good as I did 
1sec up to 1/100th of a sec but from 1/250th to 1/1000  the shutter speed 
is open about 2 to 4 times as long as it should. Does this mean I have to 
send my camera away?  Could I fix it myself?  I don't want to have to go a 
month without my camera but I need those faster shutter speeds. Who is a 
good person to send it to?

Thanks,
David Degner
