Problems with Manual exposure on D-800

Chair Mike Adams wrote:

I shoot theatre using the manual exposure setting (M) and I usually set the wide open stop on my 24-85 zoom (2.8-4) and then I set the exposure based on the meter in the VF. Each time I set it and whether I keep the shutter button pressed or not, it remains on the shutter speed I have selected, say 250th. But once I take the picture it always goes back to between 1000th-4000th, without fail, meaning I have to quickly reset it before another immediate shot, which I often miss. I used the same settings and lens on my D-700 and never had this problem.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Mike
