What the hell is wrong with you people? The camera works fine, the youtube video has been unlisted and commenting suspended. Kind'a reminds me of the bending Iphone 6 plus videos...I own both the D750 and the Iphone 6 plus, and sorry to break it to you.....but you can't believe everything you find on the internet!
Spend less time reading reviews/ reports for attention seeking personality disorders and more time shooting your cameras and making great photos!

Yeah, who am I gonna believe, you or my own lying eyes? Could you be any more full of yourself?
I would not buy this camera after seeing this. The petapixel post demonstrates the problem well, especially the user eliminating the reflection in the mirror box. A shame that this got through QC.
I've shot thousands of frames with Nikon Cameras and have never seen anything like this.

I have come to the conclusion that my initial item number 5) shutter timing sequence have totally nothing to do with this dark band issue.
I think I have enough information on what caused this issue but would rather keep it to myself for the time being to prevent unnecessary panic for those who will jump on anything minor to create a storm. This will only affect very few people and even though there are people who shoot this way, it will not affect them all the time. Yes, I understand that it will hurt sometime when you need that particular shot, but there is nothing one can do at the moment.
Please do not PM me to find out because I have given my reasons why.
I will see if I can feedback to Nikon next week when I send in my 24-70mm f/2.8G for servicing to have the zoom cam (under assembly number 10999-528) fix or replace. Here you go plastic, plastic, plastic parts in expensive lenses that fail over time. And there you have amateurs and old men who don't shoot or too heavy to carry all day wanting lighter lenses with lots of plastic in them.
The above issue is why I still prefer my 12 years old 28-70mm f/2.8D over the less than 5 years old 24-70mm f/2.8G. Endurance! ...Show more →
Looks like the issue has to do with how the AF sensor is installed/seated. Doesn't necessary look like a design defect, but a manufacturing one (which I brought up way earlier in this thread).
Out of curiosity, what was the issue you learned from the information you gathered? No need to be secretive now since major proof is showing the culprit to be the position of the AF Sensor.
I saw the video in the link. In it he essentially covered hole in which AF sensor module resides so you lose PD AF.
Perhaps nice workaround for video-only guys or landscape guys that use LV only.
I guess this won't be solved easily. D750 has new design of AF sensors, its creators talked in interview how they have to change a lot of things to get bigger AF sensor module (than the one in D610) in smaller body (compared to D700 or D8xx) and one of the things they did was to put AF sensor module higher. So this flare band might be just a property of new design. Perhaps there is some easy workaround (*), but it may be as likely that it will require significant change to fix.
* I have an idea that curving the flat area between hole for AF sensor module and lens mount could make flare transition smoother instead of ugly hard edge.
Try as hard as I can I can't make mine do it. I've tried with low winter sun, a very bright Cree torch and very bright halogen lights in a room. Liveview, non-Liveview. 3 different lenses. Hoods on and off.

I have seen this now: http://forum.nikoniarze.pl/showpost.php?p=3484778&postcount=55
especially the video at bottom - it shows that AF module location may differ between D750 copies. The ones that have it deeper are not affected and the ones that have it near top of shaft have flare issues.
I guess this can be corrected by service center. AF module location is adjustable by screws (I don't know if completely or of screws are only to adjust tilts). But time-costly alignment and calibration is required after.

The first video posted on this subject, the one I presume you're referring to, is mine. It was unlisted and comments turned off from the very beginning, because I think discussion of the issue will happen better in forums. To infer those settings reflect on the legitimacy of the flaw is a total red herring.
Mine was a very quickly made video to show the issue and simply explore if others experienced the same. This one is much more thorough: In particular, I think that photo at 3:11 is very nice, but ruined by the cut off flare.
I sent mine in for an LCD issue and also mentioned this issue. It's been in the shop for 4 days and I'm waiting to hear back from Nikon tech support on this issue. Hopefully they'll address it.
I included pictures regarding the issue, I would suggest you do the same if it's affecting your style of shooting.
Okay, I actually talked with Nikon again. The person I just talked to at tech support said that as of today they are investigating the issue, it's not going unnoticed and they will contact me and guaranteed I would get an answer. I kept pressing and talking to them until I got a satisfactory answer. I think they are on it now. I urge you guys to contact them also and let them know you are experiencing the issue also. Either by email or phone. It sounded like they were waiting until they seen a lot of people were experiencing it.

Here is the plain English translation:
Guys, don't go ape shit on this. Don't return it, please! When we get the thingy figured out, maybe in another month or two, we'll let you send it for service. Listen, D760 is not gonna come out in May, OK? No need to quote me though. I'm just a little guy in this big freakin place. Just recap: don't do returns, guys. Keep shooting and have fun.

My first post here, hi all....but to the subject at hand, either the tech hasn't been told or he's lying. The problem is caused by light getting into the AF optics/sensor system, located in a recess in the floor of the mirror box. This is a fault in the assembly of the unit. Nikon will finally have to announce it, it's just a matter of when.
