GR III Double tap autofocus area

I have a user mode with snap focus as the default, Fn button to focus with auto area + face detect, and no touchscreen autofocus so I don't accidentally trigger it.

Sometimes, rarely, I still want to set a specific focus point without changing af modes. And I've discovered that *double* tapping the screen brings up a focus area.

I didn't know about this function and I can't find it listed in the manual, so I thought I'd share. I'm using the latest firmware.
