Yep, thought so.
Glad you solved it, with a bit of help from some of us.
Cheers and best to you.

There will be a menu setting somewhere that determines the size of the increments of the exposure adjustments. It's possible that you're used to using increments of 1/3 stop but you've inadvertently changed it to 1/2 stop increments (or possibly larger increments if that's an option).

That is what I think is the most logical explanation. It has probably happened to all of us at one time or another.Jan 17, 2023 21:15:09 #
Yes, I would bet that is exaclty what is going on. I once sent in a camera because it kept changing exposures on every shot even though I hadn't moved. Nikon sent it back with instructions on how to turn exposure bracketing on and off. Duh..

Don't need your experts. The issue was resolved yesterday, and posted on page 1.

That's not "skipping" at all.
That's every "full" stop. Aperture f/1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, etc. Shutter speeds 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000 etc. ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, etc.
Most modern cameras can be set to your choice of full stops, 1/2 stop or 1/3 stop (aperture, shutter or ISO... or all three). That will be somewhere in your menu.
I use full stop ISO, but 1/3 stop shutter and aperture on my Canon cameras.
