versa. What is wrong? This is my first Guitar with a floating bridge. I just bought an Ibanez RGA72TQM.

I have been messing around with it a bit learning how to tune a floyd rose and I have figure that out but there is a huge problem.
When I depress the bridge (pull the whammy bar up) and then return it to normal position all my strings go around a 1/2 step sharp and when I push the whammy bar down and then return it the strings return back to their original tunning. What is wrong?
I know its not a string problem. They are secured at both the nut lock and the bridge lock. It is a bridge problem. I can see the bridge with my eyes and a ruler that it moves about a millimeter when it returns
