Sony a6000 focus points in playback

Hi Everyone- question for Sony a6000 users- I would like to review my focus point(s) in playback. Can anyone tell me if that is possible and if so how to set that up? Thanks so much.

Not sure why you'd want to.

Thanks for your reply. Have you ever reviewed your pictures and wondered why something wasn't in focus that you thought should have been? If so on the Nikon D 610 and the Olympus OM-D (two cameras I own) you can check your focus point(s) on the memory card after the fact. It can be very helpful.

My three Sony cameras have Micro AF adjust so, provided that I correctly position the focus point, the shot will be in focus subject to the vagaries of any AF system. Were the desired focus to be missed for whatever reason, there's nothing I can do about it so I have no interest in knowing where the actual point may have been nor can I see how it would be helpful to know.Thanks for your reply.

If the focus is very critical, I often use the "focus magnify" function and/or "peaking" to make sure I have it nailed. If I didn't nail it or I moved after the event, then knowing where the focus actually was is of no value; bin it and move on.
