Been mucking around with this option the last couple days and notice that when the AF point is enabled in playback, sometimes it shows, and sometimes its absent. Now I just can't remember whether it is possibly related to one-shot or servo mode.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

Jul 02, 2014 01:55 | #3 hmmm interesting, will keep that in mind. I always thought the camera didn't know whether you had recomposed. 6D . SL1

I always thought the camera didn't know whether you had recomposed. That's possible. But I only use back button focus with AI servo - so when I do focus/recompose, it doesn't show the red box in playback, and when I do not focus/recompose, it does show the red box. So it could be based on whether I am pressing the back button when firing off the shot, or not, which, for the way I shoot, would happen to coincide with focusing/recomposing. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

tonylong ...winded  More info | Jul 02, 2014 02:00 | #6 There will be a difference between how it behaves in One Shot AF and AI Servo AF, for sure, since One Shot AF will "signal" correct focus/lock, whereas AI Servo doesn't "lock" focus, but tracks moving focus points! Tony

Jul 02, 2014 02:12 | #9 sounds good guys, I use back button focus so it must be as you have described, whether or not my thumb is down when I fire the shutter. 6D . SL1
