Live view focusing

Hi, I just bought a K-R, but a problem arises. Whenever I switch to live-view mode using the LCD, and focuses,it somehow zoom in to the subject. I am using the kit 18-55mm lens. I am wondering how to switch the zoom AF off? It was distracting for me. I do not have this zoom-in problem for my previous Canon 600D or Nikon D90 using live view. Pls help!

I don't think you can switch it off, but I'm not 100% sure on that. You can on the K-01, though.

I know on the K20D, you can use the rear e-dial to magnify the image - maybe there's a setting on the K-R that defaults to a magnified image????

There is no way to disable the "zoom in" on the K-r with the live view in contrast AF mode it just happens every time. I did find it a bit annoying as they K-x didn't do this a menu option to enable or disable this would be nice
