Originally posted by Richard Day Very easy to accidentally hit the OK button when operating the selection buttons, then, bang! You are out of AF selection mode.
I never had that problem with my K100D.
Originally posted by Richard Day Also, not possible to have a centre point reset, when in AF select mode, by hitting the OK button as in the K20D.
This is a very good point. I very often used the "OK button focus point reset" until I switched to using the OK button as my focus enabler (to decouple focus from shutter release). I hope there will be some way to reset the focus point on the K-7.
Originally posted by Richard Day A relatively straightforward fix would be to have a "push and hold" for a couple of seconds to avoid accidental switching.
First I liked this idea (if it were the only way to get a focus point reset), but I don't think I'd like to wait for the camera to react to a "long button press". I think I'd rather use a "double click".
EDIT: I wrote something about the K-7 user interface but later came to realise that I was misinformed by some DPR postings. Since I don't know about how modal the K-7 interface is and the messages on the net are conflicting, I removed my comment.
While we are talking about GUI features we cannot control anyhow
, I'd love to see a "button pressed & dial" style of option selection. For instance, you press the WB button and while keeping it pressed use a dial to cycle through the WB options (which are then displayed on the back LCD and, if possible, on the top LCD). Releasing the WB button accepts the current choice. I think this would be much quicker than entering a menu, and then making a selection with the cursor keys, with a final "OK" to accept.
