I'm replying to myself here, but I've just realised a way round this is to use one of the custom settings (I'm referring to custom camera settings, on the dial, not custome white balance settings, here) set to touch screen operation, with 'direct focus area' turned off. This lets you turn 'direct focus area' off with one touch of the top dial, rather than having to go into the main menu and find it. Much quicker. I still hope Panasonic provide a firmware update so that this move becomes un-necessary though.
Theoretically this would correct, practically useless. The problem with the custom settings is that it stores too much information. What this means that you can not have a custom setting that only disables the "direct focus area", it also changes the (PASM) mode and the ISO setting. It would be very convenient if Panasonic would provide an option to select which items are to be remembered with a custom setting or, alternatively, to provide an option to disable remembering (PASM) mode and/or ISO.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
