Auto ISO on or off in manual mode the shutter speed doesn't change except when it's on auto bracketing.


Guess you are right.
I might be wrong but the shutter speeds do not look like they are consistent with auto bracketing.
I’ll have to play with my Nikon to check if I can get that bracket setting.

I think it's consistent with the 3F 1.0 setting.

FIXED. THANKS EVERYONE. Bracketing button was the villain. It's something I've never used and is hidden under the silicon cover I use. Must have gotten bumped some how.

I'll try to make this concise. Nikon D500 with a 200-500 lens. Set on Manual, 1/2500th @ f5.6, auto ISO (2000), Continuous high. I shoot a 5 frame burst at a bird launching from a perch. First frame is shot @ 1/2500th, second frame@ 1/1250th, the third @ 1/5000th, the 4th @ 1/2500th, and the 5th @ 1/1250th. I'm touching nothing but the shutter. Later test shows that the camera will switch around shutter speeds on single shots as well. Anyone have any idea what's going on or do I just have to ship it back to Nikon Service and pray. The camera has not been dropped or abused in anyway.

Step 1) Try a different Nikon Lens (not a 3rd party), if no changes, reset your camera to factory default as described in owners manual, also try a different memory card...not usual, but it may apply (Also format the card in the camera, not on PC

If all that fails, call Nikon Tech Support, they have tons of hidden ideas before they say (send it in)

You have exposure bracketing turned on.

Did you oversleep?

The OP already checked and confirmed. He let us know four hours ago, in this thread.

I know you were trying to help. However, it was pretty clear from the outset that bracketing was the likely cause of the issue. This would have been fairly obvious to anyone familiar with bracketing, even non-Nikon shooters. There would have been no reason to contact Nikon until bracketing was ruled out. Consider this the next time you decide to suggest contacting the manufacturer for equipment or feature issues with which you have no personal experience.

vote #3 for bracketing, great solution... I often FORGET to take the bracketing OFF and shoot Single images and find out the hard way... good luck, the D500 has been great!!!

Great news.
Over the past few years we have seen this come up a number of times.
Thanks for letting everyone know!

Yep, I jumped the gun, but as soon as I read his post it was obvious. I soon realized I wasn’t the only one.

My D200 did that exact thing until I shut off the bracketing.
