Title: Show focus point used-in Sony in what software
Post by: dgillilan on May 08, 2017, 07:04:42 am
When I am processing images(Capture one pro trial or PS6 ACR or LR6 or Sony image data processor), how can I check to see where the shooting focus point was? I have searched and found no info. (I have to use dng converter for PS6 for raw). Thx. Have had the Sony a-6300 +Zeiss-Sony 16-70mm f4 lens 3 days.Thx.

If this info is available it would be in the mage EXIF data and a quick look at a recent shot thru Adobe Photoshop CC didn't display anything of that sort for me. Perhaps Raw Tharapee or Capture1 might list the focus point.

There's this (http://www.lightroomfocuspointsplugin.com/) which works with Lightroom. It doesn't list your camera but the developer is currently working on the plugin and extend his Sony support. I haven't tried it.

Doesn't Sony's software show them? Focus points are non-standard metadata and you don't find many third party apps that read them, and your options may be reduced by Sony being less common.
