I said even if it's in Auto ISO the shutter speed doesn't change. I am not sure if auto bracketing can change shutter speed in manual mode as I never use it. Otherwise in M shutter speed doesn't change. So unless you accidently touched something the camera is defective I would say.
We’ll see what camera shop guy has to say.

If the camera is in Manual and auto ISO it only changes the ISO and not the shutter speed.
NOTHING was in Auto. I definitely turned Auto ISO off.

. The ker-chunk is probably VR turning off. As for shutter speed, sounds like you are in (P) program mode. Or (A) Aperture mode and SS is changing when you point at a differently lighted scene.
Didn't think of that. The VR most like WAS left on. Definitely NOT in "P", "A" or any other mode. Everything is totally in Manual.

What happens when you raise the camera back up to the position that you were shooting the moon it did it switch back or did it change and adjust to the new light setting. Just curious that’s what I would do.
Bruce.
Bruce.
No, stays at the speed it changed to. For example, I set it at 1/500, it'll change to 1/2000.

Or did you have Auto ISO on?

Full. Auto ISO was turned off.

Are you using an auto setting or total manual? If totally manual the shutter speed won’t change.
Manual.

Sounds like some sort of shutter speed safety override of your setting. You can likely immitate your moonshot working conditions indoors at night and figger it out. Seriously doubting any malfunction.
Thanks. I might just take it to my local camera shop -- yes, we still have one of those! -- and see what he says about it.

I was outside the other night trying to photograph the Moon. I would take my shot, and then lower the camera down to check the image on the screen. As I'm lowering the camera, I hear and feel a "kerchunk". Probably something in the lens which, I hope, is normal? I then noticed that the shutter speed had changed from what I had it set at. This happened multiple times, sometimes to a higher speed, sometimes to a lower speed. I definitely did NOT rotate the control wheel.
Camera is a Nikon D7100 and the lens is the Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED-IF (the FX version).
Is this something I should be sending in to Nikon to have them look at or is this a normal thing?

Neither. Both are overpriced. Looking at today's exchange rate, look for a D7200 in the 600 CAD range and a D500 in the 800 CAD range. You're talking about discontinued DSLRs in 2023. Don't overpay for an old camera.
I get that ("Don't overpay for an old camera"), but the problem with that is, that most sellers -- and I'm including online sellers like Adorama, B&H and KEH -- ask for more because they know they can GET more. I'd love to replace my D7100 with a D500 and don't mind used. But I also don't want one that is all dinged up and trashed with a million shutter clicks on it. I bought both my D7100 and D7200 "used". Actually the D7100 was a Nikon factory refurb from Adorama, and the D7200 was from a member of UHH, here. BOTH looked like they'd never been touched by human hands. Looked new. I know that if I want a D500 in mint or near-mint condition, it's gonna cost me.

Most "online experts" recommend against auto rotation when they suggest settings.

Why would that be? Are any other settings affected?

Cutting the hose is no more of a blatant act than the neighbor connecting the hose to his house in the first place.
Chop the hose, message sent, problem solved.

No. Cutting the hose is vandalism and destruction of personal property.

No. That is not “assault”. It’s just a stupid sign.

I recently saw a show on a cruise ship going through the "Northwest Passage" in Canada. The professional photographer had a Nikon system and what looked like a 600 lens. There were people using phones and probably everything in-between. I would take what you like the most.
I'll bet his 600 got better eagle and whale photos than anyone with their iPhone or point-and-shoots.
