Camera has lost its mind

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.

I am not a Nikon user, but if I had your problem I would contact Nikon directly with the problem.

I shoot a D7100 so I know there will be differences, but are you sure the mode (?) selector knob was set to M. This is the type of variance I see when using A mode and variances in the background appear. Your meta data will give you this information. A second thought is search through the menus to see if you need to set manual exposure in a menu as well as with the knob.

You have bracketing enabled.

I think you have the camera on auto bracketing and 3 shots +1 and -1. The fourth shot and fifth shot was the repeat of the sequence.

My vote is also bracketing. However, if it's not...before you ship to Nikon, try restoring camera to default settings.

This has worked for me . . .

Is auto ISO on?
Sounds like something is set that is overriding your shutter speed.
Based on the shutter speeds it does not look like auto bracketing.
But a quick call or email to Nikon should resolve the issue.

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