OK, here's an odd one...
Why doesn't DPP4 display the AF points for JPEG images in Quickcheck mode or thumbnail view? Yesterday I was trawling through a very large number of JPEGs taken during a rugby match when I discovered that DPP4 does not appear able to display the AF points - active or otherwise - even when the option is selected. This also appears true for the thumbnail view and presumably the edit mode too (I didn't check that one though).
DPP4 will happily display the AF points for my 20D and 40D JPEGs so the feature isn't missing entirely - it just doesn't seem to work for the 80D. Interestingly it seems the same applies to DPP3 though that may be due to the fact that DPP3 predates the 80D and may not be able to fully read the Canon specific image info.
Anyone else had this issue? Know of a fix? It's hardly a fatal flaw but it when trawling through a lot of continuous AF images it's a bit of a pain to not know for certain where the active AF point was
One thing I did notice that might be related is that the image info for the raw files includes the AF point selection mode, ie single point, zone AF, auto zone AF etc., and the AF points show on screen but the JPEG lacked both the on-screen AF points and this information...
