Somehow my 6500 has started making 3 pictures of the same image and I can't figure a way to reset it so that it will just make one exposure of a subject.

Try switching off bracketing...

Look under
Menu tab 1
Drive mode
DRO bracket Lo

You may have used this vs single shooting which is next option in menu

Thanks so much, that fixed it.

Having said that ( as it happened to me recently) I am not sure I understand the purpose of the DRO bracket as I got 3 pics with same exposure info I believe.

What do I do with the 3 pics I got from DRO bracketing?

Thanks

All three are slightly different, but I don’t know what the subject or scene was. You can keep the one that looks the best to you, or get rid of all three if you don’t like any of them. If they all look identical, keep one and delete the others.

Went back and looked at data on the three shot DRO bracket

Same image
Same exposure time
same f stop
and
same iso

What was the SONY doing and what I am to do with three of the same images/exposures?

Thanks for looking

Yup, wondered the same. Haven't pursued the answer though.
