You're using Raw Right Away... Yes???? Fire up the app itself and go to preferences and doble check that Focus points are checked as one of the display options... then note the Note at the bottom of the preferences screen about OS 13.2 and Renaming the Raw Right Away application... That should resolve your issue...

Yes, I use RRA. I think I know the cause of the issue now: The autofocus points option has already checked. That's why my old D3500 images show red reticle in Finder. However, since my Mac OSX is too old that the RRA can't be updated to work on new z6ii images. More and more apps stay unadvanced. Bummer!!

Yes... RRA isn't supporting the Z cameras...

2 Focus points are not displayed for Nikon Z-series or Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras. Focus point availability is subject to the data actually reported by the camera in the file, regardless of what was displayed in the viewfinder. For example, some Nikon camera models omit the focus point if sharp focus was not acquired, or when focusing manually.

Thanks. I now confirm seeing red square both after shot and playback. Still don't see it on my mac's Finder preview like old D3500 images. May need to set up somewhere on my computer...

Same here. It's only visible in camera for me.

Cindy... You hve to rename the Raw Right Away.app file on your computer to Raw Right Away.7630872.app

And then reboot your computer... and log back in...

How will this help? Will it then show red squares on z images? I wonder if I can do this on my old Mac.

I'm still scratching my head going, What's Raw Right Away App?

It won't help with Z cameras because they not supported... but it will restore the issue with seeing the focus square of your previous DSLR images...

Raw Right Away is an application that lets Apple users "preview" Nikon NEF files (or any other file) by simply tapping the space bar... it also displays most of the EXIF data and a histogram without Opening the file with an editor.... just using Finder... It's also the only way to see the focus point of an image outside of using Nikon's own software... which is how this discussion began...

Thanks, Fred! This is very helpful to know.
