The camera phones and my Canon Powershot with IS snap away and get their shots in perfect focus with plenty of DOF due to their small sensors. I have sufficient natural light from tungsten to open the lens, bump the ISO to 400 and get really nice soft lit natural pics with a good histogram but without the flash glare. Wrong, because I'm restricted by walls in the room and my subjects distances are from 4-12 feet. As much as I dislike flash, I can use it, drop the ISO to 200 and stop down to f11-f16 getting all my subjects in reasonable focus.The D750 EXIF does include the DOF on shots, but I don't know why the focus distance isn't there and there is nothing in the info screen I've discovered yet. That data isn't usually shown in most photo editors, I found a DOS based  EXIF reader that churned out loads of camera settings not normally shown. It looks as though all the D750 camera presets are saved with your pictures. My wish is for Nikon to pay less attention to the on screen focus zone boxes but show a rectangle or just 3 dots which change their shape or separation for each lens and aperture setting representing the focus point, near and far focus according to your choice of COC value.  The central point zone is already there and they only need to calculate the near and far in focus points. My AF lenses seem to have a reduced focusing arc leaving insufficient space to engrave useful distance marks and DOF f stops. If the camera is setting focus electronically, tracks and works then that's fine, but I think it needs to translate the limited focus ring movement to a range distance you can see when shooting.</blockquote>
