All good information and appreciated. The AF setting was a result of a reference to AF.S comments in connection with the bracketing instruction in the manual. I was not making the AF vs Exposure distinction when referencing it earlier. Yes, I'm into both the bracketing and continuous mode setting procedures. Drive mode was my first thought. I can imagine a "bouncing" effect if the shutter were too lightly pressed/held, but whether the bounce would be able to re-set it is another question. I'll be aware of my shutter release pressure..at least for awhile.
