Something similar happened to me and the only thing I was able to determine and change was the button on the lens was set to A rather than M. My camera was in manual mode.

Not even close. A/M on the lens is about focus. It doesn’t matter what exposure mode you’re in

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.

My canon m6 mark ii did things like this too. My biggest concern was that once in a while it would automatically go from a very fast exposure to bulb. Don't know why it did this, but I suspect it has something to do with the internal camera computer overthinking a situation. It should not be doing that on manual though. It hasn't done that for a while now, and I have a new Canon r7 anyway. Waiting to see if anything like that happens with the R7. It is a strange thing. I wonder if other people have had this problem?

I've had that same experience with my pocket Lumix DC-ZS70 Camera, I got just before Thanksgiving 2021, when i take photos from the Lumix, it would jump to Bracketing, mode, for some reason i was too close to a button & had to figure out what the Hell is going on? & i discovered the matter & corrected the matter & made Damn sure it didn't happen again!

Last Year i bought a Lumix DC-FZ80 BRIDGE a year ago last April,
the Bracketing System didn't Trip like my pocket DC-ZS70, where i would Accidently come on.

Check your Camera out Throughly,& make sure your Bracket System doesn't come on.

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)

Here is the beginning of the useless replies from those who have not read the prior replies and realized the problem has been solved. Nevertheless there will be many more pages.

With simple problems here the solution is usually posted before the end of the first page. And That was the case here.

Nevertheless there will be more pages of replies.

Thank you for bringing this back to the top of the list.

Without your help it might have faded away.

Either braketing is on or auto ISO is responding to changes in the background brightness. Peace.

Besides you're late because the OP has found the reason and corrected it. Auto ISO or not won't change the shutter speed in manual. If auto ISO is on and the camera is in manual it would change only the ISO.
