Checking my camera, while pressing the ISO button on the back of the camera, the ISO Auto is set at 100, Auto ISO Sensitivity control is ON, ISO Sensitivity is set to 100.
In the Photo Shooting menu, ISO Sensitivity Settings: Auto ISO sensitivity is ON, Max sensitivity is 8000, Minimum shutter speed set to Auto. ISO Sensitivity is 100.

I have the D750 and 24-120 as well. Over the last three or four days of holiday merriment I did not use the flash a single time. With the VR lens and reasonable ambient light, ISO 3200 was high enough to produce amazingly good results. I'm not sure why, but I never use auto ISO. By the way, I was stunned at how good the D750 auto white balance was under different types of lighting.
I'm a little dismayed at the noise I am seeing in my pictures, I think I will try your ISO setting. What shutter speed were you using indoors?

Yup, good points. I didn't want to drag my camera bag over to my parents house along with all the Christmas presents we were bringing. But, I should have. Will do next year.

Thanks for the responses. I should have brought my Nikkor 50mm f1.8 G. I'm sure a faster lens would have helped, I wanted the convenience of the zoom in that situation.
No doubt my inexperience talking here, but I had hoped that camera would do better in the light available. Also, do both of you agree that the camera going to the upper ISO of 8000 was reasonable?

I used my D750 yesterday to take pictures of the family opening gifts. My setup was manual, with auto ISO, upper limit on ISO was 8000. Using the Nikkor 24-120mm f4 lens with it.
The room was not particularly dark, it had light coming into it from several directions, and lamps on with ceiling lights, and light coming in from a window and a glass door.
I was trying to use shutter speeds of 1/120 usually, and varying from 4 - 6.3 on the f stops. Perhaps predictably, pictures without using flash were darker than I wanted.
But, what I noticed when looking at the ISO level of my pictures is that most of the ones taken in the room had maxed out on the 8000 ISO. This is what is surprising to me, and I have notice this on other pictures I have taken with the D750, the camera seems to hit the upper range on whatever I set for the ISO limit.
I'm not that experienced a photographer, and certainly still learning the d750, but I'm wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong that is causing the camera to use the high ISO setting in a room that didn't seem to be dark. With the high ISO I am noticing more noise that I would like to have in my pictures. My wonder/concern is whether the camera is correctly using the appropriate ISO on auto ISO.
