Thanks for all the replies.

That was the first setting I checked. I did that very thing years ago and it took me the better part of a week to figure it out. I now make sure the camera doesn't remember bracketing settings after it's powered off.

No flash in this case.
Originally posted by Paul the Sunman Were these jpeg or RAW? If RAW, the software you are using to develop it may for some reason be making random choices about correct exposure. If you have another piece of software, e.g. DCU, check to see if it's the same there too.
Not RAW - jpegs right off the SD card.
Originally posted by Pizza Looks like the EXIF data is exactly the same exposure settings. If you are shooting in the fastest burst mode, perhaps the aperture of your lens is sticking and not closing down to the desired aperture fast enough between shots? Is it an older or newer lens?
It's older - a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 Di LD Macro. That's probably the issue. I'll have to check out the aperture lever.
Thanks again, everyone.
