Long exposure in B and diaphragm setting

On my Monochrome type 246 I have noticed that if I take a long exposure in B mode of 60 sec. with the diaphragm set to f8, in the exif data it shows it was taken at f4. Is the camera changing the diaphragm or are these mistakes in writing the exif data?

 

Thank you, Giulio

The camera hasn't the foggiest notion of the f-stop you've set. It guesses that by comparing the light arriving at the sensor with the light entering the small eye in front of the camera. Sometimes it guesses right, sometimes not.

Thank you, that's reassuring. I couldn't care less of the exif data but since I have already to struggle with the 60 sec. ceiling and the mandatory long exposure noise reduction I was afraid of new limitations.
