It looks like the stills/video selector.

Yes, I've been looking at them this morning and noticed something that
I'm not sure we've discussed yet (if it was, I missed it):
Under that selector knob just to the right of the pentaprism is a
selector switch that seems to have 3 settings.
The switch is seen well in this large overhead view:

You can see in the "behind and to the right view":

...that there are little icons on the bottom of that dial that see to
correspond to the points at which that switch can be positioned. The
leftmost appears to be a "camera" icon. I first thought the one next
to it was a video symbol, but on closer examination I don't think so
(but don't know what it is). Presumably we can see the icons for 2 of
the 3 settings, (but not the one that the switch is currently pointed
at).
Interestingly, there is also a dot on the top of the body and a
corresponding dot on the dial (that can be pointed at each other). The
two dots can be seen here:

I have to say that the "grid" setting on that dial is interesting to
me. That used to be a feature of pro cameras focusing screens. The
fact that it can be selected makes me think that it provides some sort
of lines that overlay the viewfinder (but only when selected). That
makes me think that this camera might have some sort of EVF overlay
function or some sort of hybrid optical/EVF.

After the "accidental" (cough, cough) showing in NYC the camera,
apparently officially named the K-1, is on display again at a show in
Paris.
