Since this thread got a little bump I happened to see it, and it's a very intriguing method. I think I will give this a try on my K-30 as a second user profile, especially since I have a HD 55-300 arriving soon with the quick shift function and that could be very versatile when shooting stationary and moving objects without switching modes.
Since the settings are a little different than the instructions for the K-5, this is what I have:
* AF switch set to AF.C
* Button Customization: AF/AE-L: Enable AF2 (decouples AF from shutter half-press and sets it to the button)
* AF Active Area: Select
Now, since I had to look through the manual to figure this particular thing out, I figured I'd post it for other K-30/50 users: With AF Select mode, the 4-way buttons control the AF area, but I was wondering how to access their normal functions, specifically ISO, without having to toggle AF Active Area settings off. All you have to do is hold down the OK button. Furthermore, if you set the RAW/Fx button to "AF Active Area", you can press it to enable AF Select using the dials instead of the 4-way pad, which may be useful.
