OP here and I may have solved the issue. Will go out in the sun today and check. I could never find the settings a couple here were talking about but I also do not download other apps related to the camera without knowing I can do so w/o complicating things. But I went into the settings for Display and I found I may have turned on Adaptive Brightness. According to what I am reading on Google this may have been the issue. We shall see.
