Focus Point Display

Post by andrewj »

A lot of cameras (e.g. Canon R series, all newer Panasonic models) store the selected focus point information with the image, and can display it on the EVF when your are reviewing shots.

It would be really useful to have the equivalent capability in XNView, so we can see which images from a set are best focused.

For Panasonic cameras ExifTool reports a value called "AF Point Position" which is the X,Y coordinates (as a fraction of the whole screen) of the primary focus point (e.g. "0.47 0.77"). It should be relatively easy to display a little green square or similar at this point.

Thanks
