That will be a firmware fix I hope?

Mark and friends at GFM had the problem underestimated, while Bill has
got it right.
However, Pentax will fix it soon by adding a menu option allowing to
select the default operation of the arrow keys ("Function recall" or "AF
point selection").

Now, about the 4 way controller.
Unless I've missed something, the 4 way controller is broken. By
default,
it
provides access to the various functions, and one has to press the OK
button
to get it to work as an AF point selector. Unfortunately, it won't
bloody
stay as a focus point controller when set to that function. It takes
every
possible opportunity to revert to function control.
Check your exposure with the instant review, when you go to take a
picture,
you've lost access to focus point selection. Let the camera go to
sleep,
its
back to function select when you wake it up. Turn it off and back on,
it
is
on function control again. I believe I had it revert a few times just
because, and not for any reason I could fathom.
There is a little icon in the viewfinder that lights up to tell the
operator
that the focus point controller is active, but I still found it to be
really
annoying to have to be constantly resetting the function
Note to Pentax: Please put an option in the remembered settings to
allow
one
to choose what the 4 way switch defaults to.
I might be mis-understanding the problem but I seem to recall some
discussion on this a month or so ago. According to this post from
Mark,
the 4 way controller can be set to provide access to functions or as a
focus point selector (via a custom setting?? - I don't know).
Anyway here's the relevant post:
