Both pictures have exposure compensation set to overexpose the photos.

Why is exposure compensation set to overexpose the shots?

The first picture is taken at ISO 5000, which is a setting to be used in very low light.

Why is the camera not set at an ISO such as 100 or 200 or 400?

When you were taking your photographs, were there flashing numbers inside the viewfinder telling you it was impossible to exposure the pictures properly?

Why did you keep changing the mode settings (> various modes - Av, Tv, Auto etc.<)?

What knowledge was causing you to make the determination to use the various settings?

I was not aware that Auto would work in RAW, but I may be wrong about that.

The common factor in the two shots is the shutter speed. 1/50 is a weird speed for the camera to set automatically.

Maybe the camera is stuck on 1/50, and this would explain ovrexposure?

Can you set your camera at JPEG large, fine, ISO 500, manual exposure, 1/500, f16 and go outside in the sun and take a picture of something lit by the sun, and then put the memory card in a computer and tell us how the picture looks?
