Yes, I'll admit to being lazy. And, I probably know the answer already - No. But, I'll ask anyway.
When I have my camera (K5 or K5IIs) up on the tripod in the evening, I usually need to shoot in manual focus, since there is not enough light or contrast for the camera to auto focus with.
However, with a AF lens mounted (60-250, or 12-24, or 8-16, etc.), I would dearly like to just leave the MF selection switch alone - especially when the camera is in portrait orientation. When there is an opportunity to autofocus, I would really like to just press the (AF) button and have the camera auto focus, upon request (overriding the MF switch for an instant) and then just return to MF mode. Yes, I can reach around and fiddle with the MF selection switch, pushing it to AF (and autofocusig), and then back down to MF. But, it's under the lens or at best off to the side and is just a small PIA.
I have read the manual, and it does not operate this way - am I missing something? or just being an old stick in the mud?
