reveal the focus point on 5d mark 2

[joescrivens]

I thought there was a way to show on your picture where you focused - does anyone know how to enable this on my 5d mark 2?

On camera - no way AFAIK. Off camera, DPP has it in an option menu I think.

 

[joescrivens]

ah right, and i don't have to set anything up on the camera to get it to show in dpp?

 

[arad85]

No. It's in the EXIF...

Yes - there is an option - I can see it on my camera screen after I've taken a shot, will check what option it is and come back to you!

On the 1D MkIV it's in the menu, 4th one along (blue) AF point disp.

5D might be similar

It's under the Playback menu

- and the Choice is to Enable 'AF Point Display'

You're right - it is. My apologies you can show it on the LCD

You can also show it overlaid on the image in Aperture so I bet the same thing is available in Lightroom.

Works on my 5D MK1, but you can only see them in the histogram view (info button)
