I am not sure why the exposure should vary like that shot from shot. I do find that in automatic mode when fixing the aperture that the shutter isn't always correct & after reviewing the photo I sometimes need to switch to manual to get the correct exposure.

Thank you, for hitting the nail on the head, Nigel. The images above are stills.
In Live View Function settings I selected Stills & Movie. It may be that Jon is implying that if I had selected "Stills only" (and AE Lock?) I would have had the intuitive response I get from 40D, [that is, in AV Mode I select the f/stop, ISO, metering, WB and let the camera find the fastest shutter speed in the prevailing conditions of light and camera shake].
But now you have defined the problem well and I look forward to more answers.
