I have my camera set to center single point, and I was going through some pictures using DDP that I took, and I had 2 sometimes 3 photos that had boxes showing focus points.

Is metering modes causing this, I noticed I had evaluative metering?

Also noticed that it is front focusing to the right and below the AF point.

Thanks
Don

No they would require access to the Glamour and Nude section and I don't have enough post yet.

Thanks BlakeC I don't have a site, all I need to know is, will Evaluative metering cause 2 to 3 AF points to show up in the pictures and I only have a single AF point set in my camera.

If I am understanding your problem correctly I think this clip from the DPP manual might explain what you are seeing:

Thanks I think you just solved my problem, I was looking at the small thumbnails and everything that was in the ligh had a box, and everything in the black background hid those boxes.
And the raw files I was looking at had been edited, I will pull the Raw files off the SD card and give it another try
Thanks again

Just went back and looked at the RAW files on the SD card, and evidently I changed the AF points to all points because I first few pictures had single point AF.
If photography was hazardous I would how blown me and my house down by now.

At first I didn't get what you were saying, thanks for allowing me in, I don't think the model will give permission to post them.

DigitalDon, are you aware that if you focus and then recompose, the displayed AF points will NOT show the subject that the AF was on, when focus was taken? The AF point in DPP indicates WHICH AF point was used, but not which SUBJECT in the frame is the AF target.
