Gather you're referring to the K-5. K-3 indicates the AF mode by size and color coding the various settings. I'll check the K-5. Haven't held it for awhile.

GOT IT - Does anyone know if there's an annunciator -- icon, indicator, whathaveyou -- that will tell me at a glance what mode the 4-way control is in? All I can do now is experimentally poke a button and see what happens, then if it's wrong press the mode switch button and try again to verify. If it's right, hit the opposite button to put the AF point back. Really a PITA. This is an ugly wart in the K-3 UI design, as far as I'm concerned.
