You can in fact change between the expanded area AF and single point simply by changing from continuous AF to Single AF since the expanded area mode is only available in continiuous AF. Once you are in single AF the tracking function is disabled but will come back on again as soon as you switch to continuous.
On the K-30 that is done from the lever whereas on the K-3 it is the button just above the AF lever.
