Select the show print area checkbox to show the extent of a particular print size. For example most digital SLRs shoot images with an aspect ratio of 3:1 which fits perfectly on a 6"x4" print but needs to be cropped if it is printed on 10"x8" paper. You can display extent of a 10"x8" print by setting the print aspect ratio to 10 x 8.

Note: The grid display is only displayed on the preview image and doesn't affect images saved to disk.

 

Focus Point Overlay Display
 

To toggle the focus point overlay display type Ctrl+F or select "Show Focus Points" from the View menu. When the focus point overlay display is enabled the seven focus point areas  are displayed over the preview image. Active focus points are displayed in red.

Focus points can be selected from the PC or using the camera controls.
