Right, I'm being thick with this dot fine tune lark. I've set camera on tripod, focused onto a contrasty image and the set to manual. When I change to plus or minus 20 I still have the confirmation of focus where I was expecting it to fail at that range. Clearly, I am doing summat wrong but I've no idea....help, please.

Which lens, what aperture and what distance are you focussing from? Obviously if DOF is large enough the confirmation will still show.

Hmm odd. Do you select OK to register the MA adjustment each time or just move the direction pad up and down. The 'new' MA won't register unless you press OK and thus come out of the menu with the adjustment scale on.

Yes. I assume you have the option above (AF fine tune) turned on?

You have to be pretty observant as it may just flicker for a nanosecond at the start and then be a solid dot, but this is a negative result. Also, it needs to be stable for several seconds.
Based on your findings I'd be setting it at -3 or -4. Have you tried this and do you get consistently sharp images?
You could compare it to the other method I posted to see if they agree.

I would like to say that this is my first shot with my new D750 but that would be a lie. The first shot was because i hit the shutter accidentally resulting in an oof shot of our table top. The second was with flash attached but shutter speed was too high and the shutter blocks out half the image. And the third is completely black as the flash didn't recycle fast enough and i mistakenly had it in continuous high shooting mode when taking the second. This is the fourth shot with my new D750. Onwards and upwards, off to RTFM.

Nice pic. I take it your flash doesn't support HSS?

Had this with mine too. Seems better on the 610. It was noted that whilst micro adjusting it, using dot tune, there were some inconsistencies locking in and I couldn't quite get to the bottom of it. I subsequently used it for a shoot I did exclusively last autumn and for the first time, it didn't miss a beat, so I have persevered since. I've only used it at home for studio use, so in AF-S since, but if I do find any issues later on I will send it away for calibration. Unless there's something more in it..

I'm not too bothered tbf, I don't use it that much other than for the odd landscape or black and white. Silver Efex is a great solution for mono. I used to have it years ago when I had a Windows PC but didn't buy for the Mac straight away. It's well worth having even for the £95 I paid for it.
Just checked, bought last April so I shall see what happens...

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that tells me which AF points are active (and which if any are cross type) with different aperture lenses, and also which are f8 points please as I can't find it in the manual? There's a section that tells you which AF points are active with different TC's and so I guess you can work out from this the AF points at different apertures, but it still doesn't distinguish the cross type that are available with different aperture lenses.

I'd email them explaining that you're not very happy and see what they say. Worth a punt IMO.

Must have missed that bit
But I don't get that, once you've set focus using liveview if you don't then set to manual then every time you half press the shutter it's just going to refocus,which you don't want it to do OK so I noticed that the Nikon spot did start 'working' even without half press so I guess you don't need to half press the shutter anyway, but I did for belt and braces I set mine to MF after focussing with LV and it worked fine for me, and the results correlated exactly with my other method.

Yes, the dot is always present or some symbol is to signify focus. The other thing is that if you use live view then the fine tune option is greyed out.
Out of interest, what were everyone else's range of numbers, especially for the 24-70? I was expecting a range of 4-5 numbers and not the -20 - 13 I was getting.
