I'll do my best to answer. Focus points are changed via menu or quick button access. You see on the lcd which focus point(s) is active. For someone who changes them all the time shot by shot, this would be very clumsy. For someone who picks one and leaves it, it works pretty well. There is a

Dave, When I was considering the K-x, one thing that I did was finally buy from a source I could return if necessary. I bought it far enough in advance of the needed venue, that I could really get used to it. Since it was returnable, I was able to verify the capability for my purposes.

Well, I am left-eyed also. This is not a problem on the K-x. By default the 4 way does not alter focus points. It actually is a quick launch of the items that are found in the Fn button on DS/K10/K20 bodies. On press quicker. Also the controller is very slightly recessed so it is less
