Probably a very simple answer to my 5D MkII question!

Hi all,

Quick question for you:

I've just got my 5D MkII and am loving it! However, when I take a photo, on the screen the red focus point is shown afterwards. I can't find a setting to take it off, can I? Or am I stuck with it? Just don't like it that's all!

Cheers

David

It should be in Menu, in one of those blue tabs: AF point display: Enable/Disable

However, it doesn't show in your pictures and it could be valuable tool for checking focus accuracy.
I wouldn't disable it, if I was in your place..

In your menu (one of the blue ones), turn off AF Point Disp.

Here's what it looks like

Did your new 5D2 come with a manual?

It's wrapped in plastic and says "Don't open until Christmas".

LOL...it should be the other way around and say that on the camera's wrap.

Lol

Thanks for all the help folks, very much appreciated.
