Aperture/Shutter lag on D750?

This is one thing I have noticed about my new D750 that is a little annoying--I don't remember the issue being as pronounced if it existed at all on the D600.. When shooting in burst mode, sometimes it takes a full 2 seconds or so to be able to change my shutter speed or aperture...........NOT COOL! I don't even think it is when my buffer has filled up...I think it happens only after about 5 shots on burst and I want to change a setting (I shoot in manual pretty much 100% of the time) It has happened to me on a few occasions now and I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is normal. I better test it out and send it back if my camera happens to be defective. I don't even care about the 2 stuck pixels my screen has (OLED screens commonly have stuck pixels and it doesn't really bother me). Could it be my memory card? ​

Maybe I'm just mistaken or maybe it's my memory card issue. I know recently I've had a really good Samsung PRO card and a cheaper Sony Class 10 SD card. Maybe it's happening when one memory card fills up? I know that it's happened at least a few times recently that my memory card would have been filled up and switched to the second slot..

I just checked mine. Switched to manual, shoot burst and switch shutter/aperture and it responds directly.

I tried lowest JPEG mode too to check if it happened when shooting more but I can keep the finger on the trigger and change A/S during and it just keeps firing.

Only thing I can think of is there being a setting that defines the max continuous in a row but in my case, I'd have to shoot 100. That still shouldn't affect shutter/aperture response but I didn't test to check.

so you're shooting in RAW + jpeg, right? I'm gonna have to test it out and try to reproduce the possible issue. The switching to the 2nd memory card after 1st one is full is a very real possibility the few times I experienced this lag.

NO I was shooting RAW only and then JPEG only. I was checking the response during shooting but I'll try. My cards take some time to fill being 64Gb.

I am going to pass on shooting until the card fills since that takes ages but I set RAW first, JPEG second and I can shoot until the buffer fills but can change everything during shooting or after the buffer is flooded. It doesn't affect that response. Evidently using both cards for both types significantly increases the writing time.

ohh...I have been shooting in RAW + Basic JPEG..... that didn't seem to ever be an issue for my D600 though... I'll try just RAW--no real point in me having JPEGs anyway..

I never shoot both, or JPEG for that matter, but since the cam has to compile the JPEG from the RAW data before writing, it makes sense that slows down even more. It's not just the file size increase.

I was able to figure out that i have to half press the shutter in order to start being able to change aperture and shutter speed after burst shooting. I'm pretty sure I did not need to do this with the D600, but I think it is because on the D750 I have set the front/back scroll wheels to move back and forth and jump 10 photos at a time when reviewing photos. After taking a photo I have the camera set to review the photo, so the camera thinks I'm trying to review photos instead of change settings.

Well that's a horse of a different color, and something that has to be done on every Nikon I've owned. When review mode is activated all the buttons do different things and you always need to get out of it to change settings. It was definitely that way on my D600, still is on my D610. Perhaps the difference is that you've changed the review time from 2 to 5 seconds or something, so where it used to be gone by the time you wanted to change the setting it no longer is?
