Re: Zooming in and out. And moving focus point without the back LCD?

If you use the EVF most fo the time why not set one of the buttons to switch between that and the LCD. That way you can use the LCD to move the AF point, but wont have the camera switching between the two display modes on its own.

I have the Trash button set to this, and its second nature now. During playback the Trash button reverts back to its default setting so you dont lose nay functionality.

Its a really handy feature and one i use most of the time, as i too use the EVF most of the time, but its handy to switch over to the LCD for accessing menus etc.

Oh, and if you hold the second button (Zoom out) down for a second or two when taking photos the AF points gets put back to the centre (im sure you know this).

+1 This is exactly how I use mine too.  Very easy.
