Exposure Bracketing Problems

I haven't moved it with either of my K5 bodies or my K10 or K20 & yes I want consistent exposures even if the light changes in part of the image ...

I agree ... That's why I didn't look there ... I wasn't aware that this would be the cause of my bracketing issues
Im usually in either Av or M mode & have used the Green button lots ... I haven't dragged the K5 bodies out to see what they are set to yet

That depends on how you look at it, I find it not logical for the camera to change DOF while bracketing & that's the way every body has worked up to this.
I also find it annoying I couldn't find it easy in the manual or searching for help online.

Yes that is the point, exposure is changing ... I have set the ISO, Aperture & shutter speed, then Ive asked the K3 to do a 5 shot bracket ... it is doing that, but I don't want the aperture or the metering to change.
With the both my K5 bodies in Manual, the Aperture stays constant & the speed changes. So I can set DOF & the camera handles the exposure.
With the K3, I set the exposure settings that I want, turn on Exp Bracketing & the 1st shot has less DOF than I want, & the last shots with more than I want.

I find the K3 surprising. The Exp Bracketing on all the other bodies Ive owned since the film days has been the same.

Im trying to get bracketing in Manual without the camera re-metering the shot & without changing the DOF

Exposure Bracketing has worked the same on my K10, k20, & both my K5 bodies ... I don't see whats changed with the K3

In Av mode, the meter will be changing exposures, I need to be in Manual. My K5 doesn't work this way.

Hi
Ive just got myself a K3, (Ive been using 2 K5 bodies & Ive physically damaged both)
when I put it into Exposure Bracketing, how do I get it to keep the same aperture?
On my K5 bodies its simple & I can get only the shutter speed to change, but the K3 adjusts both aperture & shutter speed.
Im in Manual mode & trying it side by side with 1 of my K5's using the same settings.
