shutter speed

Did you have it on aperture priority?
Also, if the light changes based on the direction of the light then the shutter speed will change if you are on automatic/programmed or aperture.

Gee whiz folks... read the thread!
It has already been verified by the OP that the camera was in Manual mode and that the cause was uniquely that Auto Exposure Bracketing was turned.

Been reading thread on this subject.I am currently out in the woods with 80d.I most always shoot in manual,as I have 70-300 on today.Whatever I point at shutter,aperture do not change.I also have + - 1 ec, so totally up 2 me what expose and aperture I choose to get best exposure.I always look to screen to c how I like it and most times will adjust as needs even if arrow not in Center as ec does not change.Depending what Lens I am using I sometimes use ap priority or shutter priority.Does anyone else do this?Would this solve this gentleman's dilemma?

Please download a picture question like this and click on "store original" to give all the detail and camera settings. I would max out the ISO to 800 or 1600. The pros at hockey games have strobe lights near the the middle panels that are lit with a transmitter in their cameras. Also what is not shown (without) store original download is the speed of your lens. Many pros have a lens that cost 1, 2, or 3 thousand dollars. So if you can catch the subjects when they are not moving you may get and OK shot. Good luck. David

David, I have the Nikkor 70-200 mm lens. I probably would set 1600 as my highest limit. Thanks for your help.

For those that have Canon cameras, it's really simple. set to high speed, iSERVO. thats it. It will track. There is iFOCUS as well, if you dont want to use back button.

Yep. That a lot of others fire off answers without reading the other responses that have already solved the issue.
I am one of those who has had the bracketing feature on a Nikon camera bite me like the OP did. It took a bit of time to figure out why the camera was not behaving like I expected. I no longer use it. If I wanted to take the time to turn on bracketing, then I would rather do it myself manually.

As above use shutter priority. Also use spot metering as well a spot focus. Also highest burst speed possible.

My problem was that the shutter speed kept changing as I took pics in succession. The first pic-1/500sec, the second pic- 1/250 sec, the third pic- 1/1000 sec and the last pic- 1/500 sec.
Why did the shutter speed keep changing?

Because the camera sensed the exposure changing...it reacted by changing the settings.

You can shoot either "shutter priority" where you assign the shutter speed and the camera chooses the ISO and aperture, however, that will (or might) manifest it's own set of issues.
My personal favorite way to shoot?
Manual.
Point the camera at the dog and man and note the settings. Then set the camera on manual to those settings. Shoot away happily knowing that each shot is perfectly and consistently exposed. If something changes significantly, like the clouds come out or you move to a new setting, then you have to re-adjust as necessary.

How do I set the minimum shutter speed? And can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks
Someone else can help with this...I don't have a DSLR and I don't know how it's done.
