Q2 focus box size

Hi.  I am a new Q2 owner and was wondering if there is a way to adjust the size of the focus box that illuminates on the rear LCD when you half press the shutter button?  This box lights up when in AF Mode: Field.  It turns green when focus is achieved.  From my rental time with the original Q I remember that this box could be adjusted to one of 3 different sizes.  I can't seem to figure that out on the Q2.  I read the manual but did not find the answer.  Anybody know?

Easy to adjust on the Q. No known way, yet, to adjust in the Q2. 😩

Thank you very much for your response.  Check that item off the learning curve

Also small cross hair in lieu of focus box in spot mode is a pet peeve.  Finding the wondering cross hair is harder than it needs to be.

I have not played with that mode much yet.  Been trying to figure out the box size thing.  Since that question has been answered I will move on to other things and give that cross hair focus method a try.

Is there not a possibility to set "focus peaking" as in the Q menu (MF Assist) ?

Sure. That feature is the same as on the Q for manual focus.

Double touching on the rear screen resets the cross hair focus to the middle. Searching for it is sometimes quite hard. So reset is the way to go...

Just in case someone is searching for this still. For the Q2, to change the size of the focus box in the Field AF Mode you can long press the rear screen. This will bring up two red marks around the focus box showing that it is changeable. Then you pinch or zoom on the screen to change size, or use the right wheel to change. There are three sizes.
