DPP4 AF Points Not Showing

When I tick the AF Points checkbox, no AF points are visible, niether in Quick Check nor Edit windows.
I saw a post here about this issue, which contained a reference to Tools>Preview>Multi-Function Preview, but that did not make AF points visible for me.
Am I missing something?
Thanks..!

Canon emailed me their answer to my question about AF points not showing in DPP4.

Here's the copy-and-paste of Canon's email to me:

Dear Chaplain Mark,

Thank you for contacting Canon product support regarding the Digital Photo Professional 4 software for your PowerShot G5 X. I can assist you with the software.

I understand that you are experiencing trouble with the Canon software. As you have a PowerShot G5 X, the Digital Photo Professional 4 software works fully with Canon Digital EOS cameras. Some features will not work as you are using a PowerShot camera.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your PowerShot G5 X.

Thank you for choosing Canon.

Sincerely,

Torrey
Technical Support Representative

So there we have the answer.

I guess I'll have to go out and buy an EOS so I can see those AF points on my computer screen...

Ah, no.... 😁😁

Thank You,
Chaplain Mark

FWIW, I have the same situation.  G5x.  Cannot view AF points in DPP.

 

Pretty lame of Canon not to support power shots.

Lame?  No, it isn't.  How many AF points does your camera have?  It has the same number as most PowerShots.  One!

You can move the AF point.

Good, we're on the same page now.  One AF point, not multiple AF poinnts.  It is what it is.  I doubt if it will change.
