Canon 7d Mark II Focus Points

On my old Canon 7D, there was a setting that allowed me to see the focus points that were used on a photo when looking at it through the image preview. I cannot seem to find it on the new 7D Mark ii. Does anyone know where this is, or did Canon remove that feature?

Thanks

I just check the pdf manual included with the camera and on page 359 of the manual is says:

AF Point Display
When [playback option 3: AF point disp] is sent to [Enable], the AF point that achieved focus will be displayed in red. If Automatic AF point selection is set, multiple AF points may be displayed.

I haven't turned this on myself yet but it certainly still seems to be there.

Cheers and happy shooting from another happy 7D Mk II owner.

It will change depending on the direction of the action. But I understand you can do that on the fly.

I found this Canon tutorial really helpful in terms of understanding the options and the ability to set them up.

Canon has several tutorials including focus issues in their learning center.
