[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 483969, member: 12496"] DSLR maybe. But Not in camcorder files. :) And I'm pretty sure not in compacts or smartphones, at least not in the Canons and iPhones I have seen. And the distance of the object sought might not be at the focused distance. Prime lenses are fair about reporting distance, and the FX zoom lenses seem a bit better (than the very wide DX zoom lenses), but the very serious inaccuracy of zoom lenses (as it destroys TTL BL direct flash results) is one of my really big peeves.

They do complain about their flash results. :) Yet it is very obvious. And Nikon knows the distance is extremely poor, yet they design their default flash mode around it. But anyway, if you do want the distance of a object in an image, there is a way if you can determine your details. [/QUOTE]
