I have 2 D800s and unfortunately they only work in studio....

I'm not sure I understand why that would be. The focusing plane may move with the wavelength of light. This is as you most likely know the source of axial chromatic aberration. However the effect is small (or the lens would be useless). And it depends on the lens: in other words the camera cannot correct for it or it would need an internal table of the focus shift for all lens, which seems unlikely. And I don't think it's even necessary. Obviously the camera should focus on the "average" focus plane for all wavelengths of the light coming from the subject. But this is (I think) naturally occuring when the Af tries to match lines of contrast with its sensors. There is no need to do anything different depending on the color of the surrounding light.

One possible exception would be in the auto area AF. Since this mode uses colors (tries to recognize skin color) it may have some correction for the range of colors it's after.
