Change history and planned improvements

V2.1.0, January 27, 2025

  • Full support of Nikon Z series (except Z50ii and Zf):
    • Z5, Z6, Z6ii, Z6iii (#198 ), Z7, Z7ii, Z8, Z9, Z30, Z50, Z fc - CAF and PDAF focus points
    • Z50ii, Z f - currently only CAF focus points (missing PDAF test files!)
  • Includes exiftool 13.15 (required for #198)
  • Windows: Fix an issue with blurry images / error message when launched in Develop module #199
    • When launched in Develop module the plugin switches to Library loupe view so that a preview can be generated if none exists.
    • Plugin returns to Develop after its window has been closed.

V2.0.0, January 6, 2025

  • Fix a problem on Windows, where the plug-in would stop with an error message on every first call of Show Focus Point for an image. (#189)
  • Olympus/OM-System: revert to display of center dot (#144)
    • Issue #144 and related fix was nonsense. For Olympus/OM cameras, the only useful EXIF information related to focus point is AFPointSelected. Drawing a box around this point has no added meaning in terms of focusing, but it helps to recognize / find the point more easily on the image.
  • Added support for Nikon Z30, Z fc, Z5, Z6 II, Z7 II (#192, based on existing implementation for Z50, Z6, Z7)
  • Improved log-file handling (#193): the plug-in log file now
    • can be accessed from Lightroom Plug-in Manager
    • will be deleted upon each start of Lightroom / plug-in reload
    • has been renamed from "LibraryLogger.log" to "FocusPoints.log"
  • Includes exiftool 13.10 (#188)
  • Plug-in updates and releases now follow a numbering scheme to keep track of versions and changes (#190). The plug-in version number can be found on the plug-in page in Lightroom's Plug-in Manager. Numbering starts with V2.0.0

Future Improvements

2.x Adding support for further cameras

  • add recent / popular Nikon DSLR models (D850 etc.)
  • verify (and if needed fix) and document support of recent models (priority on Canon and Sony)
  • all supported brands and models: add face detection as far as EXIF data support this (eg. this is not supported for Nikon Z)

3.0 Improved focus point display

  • Add relevant shooting settings and autofocus parameters to have all relevant data in one place to assess the focusing result for an image. E.g.:
    • camera and lens ID
    • focal length, exposure, aperture, ISO
    • focus mode, focus distance, hyperfocal distance, DoF
