Camera Problem: Can't adjust brightness?

Hello;

I recently updated my BB 8100 to OS 4.5 and after overcoming several problems with constant reboots, it's now running perfectly stable.

However I've found that the camera isn't working properly. It takes pictures, lets me modify options, and uses the flash alright, but it doesn't seem to be able to adjust to different lighting conditions.
For example: I open the camera inside a dimly illuminated room and the picture looks too dark...it doesn't "let in" more light to make the picture clearer.
As well, if I point the camera out the window (sunny day) all the light from outside causes the screen to go fully white.

I've also noticed that there is no video recording feature anywhere to be seen, but maybe that's just because there isn't meant to be for the 8100?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks for your time!
Santiago.

Noone has any clue? Its getting really annoying...

Yesturday I tried taking pictures outside during the day and the image was completley white...this surely isn't normal?
