Hi phil146,

This option for AF (Auto Focus) regions only works with certain cameras.  We don't have a full list just yet but that's being worked on.  I'm told most Nikon and Canon models should show us this information, but it didn't work with a photo from my Nikon D3200.

What camera (make and model) are you using?

Doesn't seem to work with my Nikon D5100, either.

Thanks @phil146 and @walt.farrell Would both be able to upload a sample image? I've set up a Dropbox link here:

When i spoke one of our Dev team about this he said he has a way of checking the files to see if we should be showing something, so i'll get him to take a look at them and see if we are failing to read the information for some reason :)

While it does show focus point boxes they are not correct, for my Canon 70D, as shown in my screenshots.

@stokerg,

Uploading now. That was one of the dogs at a local animal shelter. I done a free photoshoot to help get them adopted.

Thanks for the file. Also great idea for the photoshoot, helps the shelter and dogs out but also it's a great way to get experience taking those kind of shots

Hi Everyone in this thread :)

I've spoken with the Dev team and the issue with the AF regions being in the wrong place for @Ron P. has been resolved and should make it into a future update/beta.

For the Nikon users (myself included) there is still some work to be done in this area, the AF data is there, it's not in a format that Photo can currently read.  So hopefully this will start working over the next few builds :)

For what it`s worth, i got the same issue for Eos 7D but slightly worse... With some pictures i got 2 AF fields shown active though using Single Point AF. Obviously none of both is the correct AF Field. Will this also be tackled in the next version or should I upload the raw file too just to be safe?

Question:  Will this function work with iPhone XS?
