My photos taken with my Nikon D750 started to have this funny vertical light streaks on them. I thought the sensor was dirty so I had my camera service by nikon to see if this would fixed the issue but it turns out it wasn’t the sensor. Can anybody help me with what could be cause this issue with my camera ?

Do you see this streak on the camera's rear display?

Have you tried it with a different lens to eliminate that possibility?

If these are all taken with the same lens, the first thing I would do is try a different one and see if the results are the same. If the streak goes away, something is up with that lens. If not, the problem is with the camera.

Then I'd close the eyepiece baffle and take a test shot or two. If the problem goes away, something is wrong around your viewefinder and eyepiece.

Next, remove the lens, watch carefully through the lens opening, and watch the mirror. Make sure it goes up against the viewfinder prism and that nothing is hanging off of it. You may want to use a longer shutter opening to give yourself time to look carefully. You can look at the sensor as well, but a problem there is more likely to make a dark artifact, not a light one.

It's possible that moisture has gotten inside somewhere it shouldn't have. That may be harder to see. Beyond the checks that I've listed, you are probably going to need skilled help.

No it only shows up after the photo is taken

Thank you! I will try it and more than likely take it to a camera repair shop

It happens with any lens, but I noticed that the lower the ISO, the light streaks get lesser and lesser.

So that actually might be a light leak somewhere...I'd add snapping a couple of exposures with the lens cap on. It will be interesting to see what you learn.

Okay, I will trouble shoot and see what I find out! Thanks for the insight.

Have a check around the camera lens mount.

Ok, found this info regarding a curved light arc caused by a shutter problem https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3980398

Certainly a possibility. But I would expect exposure of the light area to remain in proportion to the rest of the image with changing ISO if it were a shutter problem.

OP...please keep us updated on this.

I had the same exact problem a couple of years ago.

I ended up sending the camera out to Nikon service be fixed, it ended up being a shutter problem that was a recall. It was fixed for free.

yep! I just check and it was determined that my D750 needs the shutter recall service, Nikon will service this for free and I’m trying to get a refund from the previous Nikon service dept. that never ran the serial number to see if there were open recalls for my camera. Nikon says that when they are doing warranty or recall service that they clean and update the cameras free of charge. I hope I am able to get my money back and that this service will fix my issue once and for all. Thank you to everybody who chimed in on this problem I’ve been having with camera I appreciate it a lot.
