Any way to still select the drive mode when in selectable af point? My right d pad button usually does this but when selectable af point is on it only changes the af point.

On the 'more pro' K-1 you get a toggle switch to do this.

On my K-S2 I do a hack by going into Live View. Wish I knew a better way.

That is bad news. This has been an annoyance several times as I have to change the af point back to spot and only then is the drive mode available.

So why not just leave it in drive mode? You can take single shots in drive mode - just don't hold the shutter button down.

The issue is that the only way to select the drive mode is with the right d pad button. But once you move the af point to a selectable position (i.e. Selectable point, 9 point, etc) the d pad buttons become the buttons for selecting the af point. My issue is I like to be in AF-C with 9-point selectablle group but I like to switch between single shot and continuous high. To change the drive mode I have to switch back to spot or an automatic AF mode than switch the drive mode than change the AF mode back. A small hassle. Hope all that makes sense.

makes sense now...here is your answer...kinda sorta...the smart function has a dedicated position for continuous drive...off, h,m,l...example I just did on my Kp...in AFS with the 4 way pad selected to focus point selection I used the smart function to switch to CH then back to AFS...you cant do this looking through the viewfinder well I guess you could if you are a camera ninja but you see it on the lcd...the Kp also has a menu setting to prioritize the four way pad to default to focus point selection...

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Can't you set a User Mode to drive mode?
