This happened to me before. Your camera is bracketing. Go into your menu and reset bracketing to 0

Lol there are at least 2 ways to set the bracketing.. one is to press the + - button on the top back and one is to press the bkt button under the flash lightning bolt and turn the command dial for the amount of bracket you want and number of shots.. if you do that, the camera will stay in bracket mode until you turn it back to zero.. been there, done that, had have several t-shirts... it only does that in M-A-S and maybe P modes. The 2 button reset sets everything back to zero so that you can start again but it doesn't tell you how or what you did in the first place..

What kind of lens did you have on I had the same problem different camera but with a sigma lens I had to send it to Sigma to have it re-calibrated to work with my camera Maybe a photo store near you has a docking station for sigma lens and can calibrate it for you

As you know now, bracketing was on. Keep in mind that most cameras have a menu setting that will correct the exposure even if your camera is set to manual exposure. On my Canon bodies it's called "safety shift". It can be adjusted to affect SS or ISO.

I suspect you may be moving the rear command dial by accident with your thumb while handling the camera. That would change your shutter speed setting. It's easy to do if you have big hands. Try keeping your thumb away from the dial.

Just did..........again. Now I'm going to hang it around my neck for instant reference since I'm not as good at memorizing stuff as I used to be. ;-) :roll:

The safety shift that I know about and like with Nikon is the ISO Auto sensitivity. It will shift ISO if the SS & A settings are not sufficient for "optimal" exposure. Obviously a great feature for things like sports when you have to capture something in a split second and don't have time to set up (like for a static shot) or get a 2nd chance.

The ISO Auto Sensitivity would have helped if all I had was constant ambient light but I'm guessing it would not have in my case where the constant lights I had were augmented by a remote manually set flash triggered by a simple strobie.

Am I missing something there, would a Pocket Wizard or something more sophisticated provided that communication?

Not sure but I too went from a D-5100 to a D-7100. The D-7100 ISO will treat any change in the ISO as a minimum setting if the auto ISO is still engaged. It won't switch from the auto function to manual when you set ISO in manual. You must enter the shooting menu and turn the auto ISO function to OFF. until then it uses your setting as a minimum and then continues to change according to its own perverse rules. It may be the case for shutter speed. I haven't tried it yet but will and I'll report back. Go to your shooting menu, I believe that is the right location and try this out and see if it works.

Read the Manual???? That somehow seems un-American.

cjeisch...Please don't post a photo on someone elses topic unless you get their permission. This doesn't even have anything to do with the question. You are basically "highjacking" the person's topic and it's not very good forum etiquette. Thank you. :roll:

Well bracketing is now off.

But I don't know what I did, other than scroll thru the bracketing/flash menu and set flash sync speed to 250 from 160 and scroll thru the auto bracketing set and reset it to where it was; AE & flash. Oh and I did change the exposure comp setting from zero but then reset it to zero.

But auto bracketing is now off and everything is normally manual. WTF?

That's exactly what AEB is designed to do....

Happy you figured it out.
