I'm worried something is wrong with my camera.....

I'm using a high speed card. I have 3 and none of them have ever taken long to show up. Now just all of a sudden they are. I tried all 3 cards, same result

****ty.

Found this on another forum. Are you getting a green light while it's delaying showing the picture? Some of the suggestions were mentioned others not. The D-Lighting apparently is a frequent cuplrit.

That blinking green light tells you that the camera is still writing the image to the memory card, so it's not a matter of slow display but a matter of slow writing. I will assume that you are using the same memory card you used before the problem started. Memory cards DO come in different speeds and you do not want a slow card. You want 30MB/sec (200X) or faster for decent performance.

I hate to mention the obvious things, but it's a start. Is your battery getting low on charge? Did you change the file size from small to large? Are you shooting RAW or TIFF?

The less obvious things would be a change to something like adding a comment to the image, using Active D-Lighting, noise reduction, using image verification...

It also occurs to me that you might be having this trouble outside. It's getting cold out there and that will slow things down, too. Keep your camera close to your body when it's not up to your eye to keep it warm.

It may be time to dump all of the images to your hard drive and format the card so you start with a clean slate, too.

Is it possible that your camera has cancer?

I am putting my thinking cap on here. I see the symptoms (1) ISO increases automatically (2) The picture takes a long time to display. From this, I assume that the sensor is not receiving enough light.
Could you check and post the exif data of the problematic picture?
What I am looking at is the shutter speed and the ISO setting...maybe even the aperture setting.
I may be completely off the mark. Fingers crossed, there might be nothing seriously wrong at all.

The root problem is that after 2 years the OP still doesn't know what features and functions her camera has, because she hasn't thoroughly read and understood what is in her camera's users manual.

I had a similar problem with my D5000. I kept noticing that my ISO was set to say 200, yet it would auto set to 1600. I apparently had changed the in menu> ISO sensitivity settings> ISO Sensitivity auto control to "ON". I assume that this overrides whatever setting you set your ISO to. This would also explain why the factory reset fixed your problem.

I realize it was a tad late as you fixed your problem already, but I guess it's good for future reference.
