A74 rear shutter speed dial not working

[EricAlpha74]

When I turn the rear shutter speed dial it will change one shutter speed then write back to the first one? can’t seem to figure it out I’m in manual mode  any help appreciated!

You need to give a much better explanation.  Do you have an owner's manual?

What shutter speed dial, none of the e-mount bodies have a dedicated shutter speed dial anywhere.  There is a rear shutter release button - just about any digital interchangeable lens camera bodies have one.

My apologies, if you are talking about front and rear dials to which you can set to control aperture and shutter speeds, I guess they are indeed aperture and shutter speed dials.  I wish the manufacturers bring back a dedicated shutter speed dial like some of the Fujifilm bodies do.

Even if you shoot in MF mode, unless you lock the exposure the auto exposure setting will change aperture, ISO or shutter speed or all of the above as the camera see fit.  You basically need to disable all auto exposure features to keep the camera out of the decision making process.

On my cameras -- and I assume most, these front and rear dials have a factory setting, but are adjustable in various ways.

That's why I asked about the owner's manual.  It will indicate how to set the dials to what you want in the SET-UP menus.
