Hi

When focusigng using live view and zooming in, can I move the screen or is it in middle all the time?

You mean the AF point? Yes, you should be able to move it in SEL mode simply by pressing the arrow keys.

No not Af. I mean in my K-r I can enter live view, then pressing the info-button will zoom in. I wonder if I can navigate the screen around after it has zoomed in so it's not only zooming in in the middle part.

Why wonder? Just try it!

Hint: Use the directional buttons.

Well I would test if i had a K-7, but now I have a K-r

Just wanted to know if its possible so I can up/downgrade because I find that thing useful when using my A 50mm 1.7.

Yes you can.

They work the same in this respect, so you can test using your K-r.
