Waht menu items does your camera have? Besides setting the shutter to 1/15, look for these:

Does your camera have a setting for center-spot metering instead of averaging? If centered on the screen, this should give a proper exposure. Same question for white balance - your camera may have a white balance feature somewhere in the menus that will set whatever is in the center spot to white when you press it. Another possibility is if it has a manual white balance setting for "shade".

Another thing to look for is exposure compensation +/-, which is used most often when turned to + to brighten backlighted subjects, but when turned toward (-) will darken the exposure.
