K-50 Settings

Hi, I'm still trying to set up my new Pentax K-50 and wondering what the best settings are for AUTO ISO- should I limit the "High setting" and what to? Also, does expanded ISO begin with all ISO above 12,800? Does expanded mean it is merely the digital boosting of the signal of the highest non expanded ISO setting?

When using Live View how do you display the camera selected ISO when using AUTO ISO before you take the shot?

I'm using this site to help me set up the camera:

What's the general opinion on using 1/3 stop ISO? For example, are ISO 4000 and 5000 merely digital boostings by 0.3 and 0.7 stop of ISO 3200?

How do I get the camera to use the electronic shutter only?  Thanks!
