Why doesn’t the display of Canon X1 show focus?

Canon cameras do not display focus, so it depends on which mode you use to take pictures.

Or which mode you choose to autofocus. In short, if you want to display the focus point, you still need to open the menu, find the dialogue window for focus point display, select Open, and the focus point will be displayed. Another thing is that the camera's focus is the setting you choose. If you choose the artificial intelligence servo focus method, the camera will not display focus. You can change the focus mode settings, and the focus display will appear if you switch to the single-shot autofocus setting.
