You have rotary shutter enabled, which adjusts the shutter speed and ISO automatically to keep the exposure that you would have with the f/stop, shutter and ISO you typed in, but simulate the motion blur from a film camera with the specified shutter angle. Uncheck "use rotary shutter" and the values will be exported without changes.

However, I see something strange in your screenshot which I cannot reproduce here: the angle parameter is disabled even though rotary shutter is checked. Any idea how you got that to happen?

I'll have a look at the scene tomorrow regarding the angle parameter.

It's no need. We've found why it has the bogus disabled state. It's fixed and it will be available in the next update.
