Hi, welcome to the forum.

Have you checked ...

Exposure BRACKETING isn't set to ON. This would give you sequential shots with different exposure settings.


If you don't mind me saying.... Don't use f22.

Most lens quality improves as the fstop gets smaller to say f11. Beyond this figure the quality drops off again. So using it at f22 is not optimum.
Also it requires slower shutter speeds to get sufficient exposure. This can lead to you getting further loss of sharpness due to camera shake. Finally, using a flash gun will require more power to project enough light to illuminate at f22....so you will drain your batteries quickly.

For most general photographic applications you would be better off using f5.6 or f8.
