Focus point display in playback when shooting with Zone AF?

This behavior & question applies to X-T2, but may be common on other models.

In playback, pressing the rear command dial zooms in on the focus point with which the image was taken. The position of the focus point in relation to the entire frame is shown briefly by a white rectangle.

For photos taken with a single-point focus, the zoom-in focus point corresponds to the actual position of the focus point set by the the"stick".

When using Zone autofocus, there are typically several in-focus points (highlighted in green during the shoot). In playback though, only one focus point is shown when you zoom-in by pressing the rear dial.

My question: How does the camera select which focus point (of potentially several) to show during playback & zoom?

It will show all the points in focus on the same plane, but only actually uses one of them. In my experience with Zone mode, it generally selects the point furthest away from where I actually want it to focus.

Hah, that's quite the ambiguous statement to write – grinning out broad. What does it mean? I'm really just starting out on my experience with modern day zonefocus box quirks, from before that I always got the notion that anything resembling wide multi-beam af shows a tendency to just pick the nearest (or best for contrast detection) sub-box in the 'frame' for the actual focuspoint. Or as a marker in the meta-data anyway. I never was all that sure on how the greenlighted squares get weighed. And whether there's any averaging at all that goes on.
