Just received mine, sn 3020xxx. Going to try to reproduce this anomaly this evening with Nikkor 35mm 1.8G ED, 50mm 1.4G and 85mm 1.8G. I'm sure I can get it to flare/band but I don't think that in everyday shooting it will be a problem.
vjaved.....those shots were all taken under extreme conditions and are not well expose images.
Even with out the "750 effect" they are all rejects...!
What I would like to see is a well expose image that has been ruined by the 750
By now I would bet that there are a few 750 owners trying to proof me wrong....!
lets see what they come up with............

Back in the days photographers all over the world would try reproduce the works and techniques of greatest photographers. Forward to 2014....

That's what I have said. The D750 manual says you are not supposed to shoot into light source anyway. If you really like that kind of backlighting look, do it in post. If you don't know how to do it natively in Photoshop, there are tons of plugins that can help.

I really don't know why so many people are trying to find out what is wrong with a camera! Just go out and enjoy it! This is going to be the best camera body that I have owned for what I make money at!
It is a really great body at the price point that it is at!!
It ain't happening people. I feel bandboozled. Tonight I unpacked my D750 s/n 3020XXX. For the past 30 minutes I have tried to create the band of terror around every light in my house. Using Nikkors 35mm 1.8G ED, 50mm 1.4G and 85mm 1.8G with no hoods or filters and in live view. It ain't happening Cap'n.
Tomorrow will be a bright sunny day in Central Florida and I will try again. If she doesn't bands it's outta my hands!!!
Thanks. Oh, I know, I won't point it directly. Just at an angle like the others have, (which is not an angle that I would ever do in everyday shooting.
I've had the camera powered up an hour and am already ecstatic that I didn't put off my purchase!
I have been glued to this thread for the past 10 days. Just for curiosity, I will waste 30 minutes today and that is it. I will report my findings and then it's happy shooting!!!
NEWS NUGGET:
I DID IT!!!! I finally got my D750 to flare/band.
DISCLAIMER: Anyone with the slightest knowledge of how light, speed, aperture and ISO are the principles of photography, this will NOT apply!!!
So I cranked up my ISO, stood 2 feet under a lightbulb and panned towards it in liveview. There it was, like a black bear staring me in the face.
This is TOTALLY a non issue for any shooter unless you go out of your way to make it happen. And I mean way out of your way. I know it will never happen in everyday shooting but if you do experience it, then it's time to RTFM.... or simply go to your local library and do some research. May I recommend a good read?

I can not believe that I wasted the past 10 days reading all of these threads on the net. I'm just glad that it did not deter me from my purchase!!!

Glad you've reconciled the issue to your satisfaction. You might want to be more reserved on the RTFM admonitions though - the original wedding photographers who discovered the issue seem to know what they're doing.

Did they say how many shots they took with their D750 before getting to one of these defect shots? If they took 5,000 shots then ended up with one, I would say it's a non issue. You probably have 100x bigger chance of getting an oof or motion blur image.

I agree and now that everyone is aware of it they can chimp in the few situations where it can occur and avoid going home without the shot they wanted.

Exactly. I lose plenty of shots to missed focus, motion blur, blinking eyes, etc. I'm not worried about losing an additional few shots in a wedding day to this weird flare, but, just like focus and blinks, I'll chimp the important backlit shots to make sure I avoid it.
