## 2. Display of Focus Points

The subchapters in this section describe in more detail which focus point features are supported by the plugin for individual camera makers and specific lines or models. This can be different colors for different statuses (e.g. focus point selected, in focus, inactive), or face/subject detection frames. The level to which features can be supported ultimately depends on the availability of corresponding data in EXIF maker notes.

The Focus Points plugin fully relies on what [exiftool](https://exiftool.org/) is able to decode and display. Which in turn doesn't fall from the sky, but it's a collaborative effort by camera owners worlwide that are willing to contribute and [go where no man has gone before](https://exiftool.org/#boldly) and decode the unknown.
