The OK Button doesn't only show ISO, in combination with the front
dial, it sets it as well. Also a dedicated AF button allows for more
control configuration options (Although not yet the one I really want,
AF system disengage). I would like Pentax to follow the trend from
Nikon and Sony and change the AF, OK and Exposure Comp buttons to true
assignable buttons with a serious list of available configurations
rather than just a couple on the AF button.

Dunno why the AF button isn't duplicated on the grip. It really should be.
