K-3iii focus confirmation in the viewfinder?

There is focus confirmation. It's the usual Pentax green hexagon at the bottom of the viewfinder. What the reviewer probably means is that the indicators in the viewfinder that show which autofocus points are being used are black squares rather than illuminated coloured crosses. Some people don't like that because they aren't as conspicuous. Personally, I'm OK with it. And those points have never been for focus confirmation. That review on Amazon also says that the top display is difficult to read. Well, in spite of having less that perfect vision due to cataracts, I can read the display easily. Possibly not wise to give much weight to that review...

Is this correct, or could it be that someone had switched it off in one of the options?
I find focus confirmation a very useful feature. (I recall that the K500 was criticised for having it removed as a way of making a cheaper model from the K50.)
