What I do is disable the half-press AF altogether, which you can now do in one menu screen on the K-3. Then the AF-C mode focuses only as long as you keep the AF button pressed.
That's an interesting idea. So you hold down the AF button with your thumb while depressing shutter release and it will keep tracking focus? If the object becomes stationary and your have focus just release thumb and you don't have to worry about micro adjustments?
Does that work on a tripod too? IE, could I maintain AF-C mode and just use the AF button once before using remote trigger?
That would even save having to flip the AF switch as I change from landscape to wildlife. All I'd have to worry about is getting my big lens out of my bag that somehow is now out of easy reach, swapping rear caps, putting the landscape lens in my bag without it rolling down a hill, lining up the damn dots on the lens and camera body, removing the front lens cap, changing from M to TAv and adjusting shutter and aperture before the critter gets away.
