I thought that was a really stupid way to set the camera up when I read the spec sheet. I tried "adjusting" the focus point on my K20 by pushing the OK button and then the 4 way (obviously this is just going through the motions). They've made moving the focus point difficult enough that they've taken away some of the advantage of the extra responsiveness the camera should have, and they've completely destroyed the intuitiveness of the interface. >A firmware update allowing the customization of this operation is in >order!!! This shouldn't be a firmware update, they've broken the operationality of the camera. The camera should be released with this issue fixed. Note to Pentax: Make the OK button a toggle from AF adjust to menu adjust.
