May I know your setting?

Tv( Shutter Speed ) 5
Av( Aperture Value ) 7.1
ISO Speed 100
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE

Tv( Shutter Speed ) 5
Av( Aperture Value ) 7.1
ISO Speed 100
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE

Av and Tv are the short terms of Canon for Shooting Modes. Shutter speed is usually given in fractions of seconds (e.g. 1/50s) or full seconds. Program modes like Av and Tv are easily confused at night and might need additional exposure compensation. Have you used any? Best to keep exif data intact, easier for others to check all details and give advice.
