My D300 changes exposure when shoting in Continuous mode.

<p>

 

<p>Hello All:<br>

I have been trying to find out why my exposure settings change on My D300 when shoting in continuous mode. Either CL or CH.<br>

For example I may shot three images at once in Manual mode at either CL or CH and each will be exposed differently and I have not changed the settings.<br>

I hope that this is not something that is right in front of my nose. Or maybe I do ... I can not seem to fix it. <br>

I look forward to hearing your advice.</p>

<p>By any chance you might have unintentionally engaged exposure bracketing?</p>

<p>What lens are you using? What kind of lighting are you shooting under?</p>

<p>If you're shooting under certain lights inside gyms, often the lighting will affect your exposures.</p>

<p>if it's under artificial lights, more than likely it isn't the camera. what your eye sees as continuous light isn't really...</p>

<p>Is this happening indoors our outdoors. If it is happening indoors only, then it is fluorescent light! You need to find the correct synch speed for those lights in order to avoid different exposures. Do a goodle search - the answer is out there.</p>

<p>Wow Great ideas I am looking right now.<br>

This happens no mater what lens.<br>

It happens out doors and In<br>

I will look now, but I will bet it is the bracketing turned on.<br>

You all are great for taking the time to answer. WOW I love this forum! and PNet.<br>

Thank you all. I will let you know if it is the right fix.</p>

<p>You'd better check auto bracketing, as Shun suggested.</p>

<p>agreed auto bracketing probably the culprit but also make sure auto ISO isn't enabled. It will still change the ISO even though the camera is in manual</p>

<p>I checked the bracketing and that was it. Auto iso was not on. Thank you so much Shun, Michael, Nic, William, Juergen, Robert, and Colin. You are the Best.<br>

Woo hoo all fixed!</p>

 

<p>I speak from experience - the same thing happened to me.</p>

<p>My D300 does exactly the same thing.</p>

<p>I had to chuckle when I read this thread. Just received my new D300 yesterday, was out today to practice a little. When I viewed the pics on computer the first was -1 EV, the next +1 EV and then 0 EV and continued through the rest. I was about 1 1/2 hours trying to figure out what the heck was going on. I should have come here first.</p>

<p>Funny, didn't realize the cameras are set to bracket out of the box? That would make you tear your hair out if you didn't realize what was going on.</p>

<p>I remember someone telling me that he regretted selling his D200 for the D300. He complained that the exposure seemed to shift with each successive shot on his D300. He eventually sold his D300 and got another D200 :)</p>

<p><em>Funny, didn't realize the cameras are set to bracket out of the box?</em><br>

I don't know that it was set like that out of the box. I believe the function button option is set to bracketing by default. I must have set it to bracket accidently while checking out all the buttons and dials. Moved up from a D60 and there's a lot more to learn on this model.</p>
