Re: Best focusing technique w/out using the touchscreen?

For all Panys, can through Direct Focus Area to control the focus point by the 4-way keys.

We can either enable it in the Menu (slowest), map the feature to a fn key on in the Q.Menu, or save it as part of C mode.

But, would it be a good time to use the 2 touch AF modes (Touch Pad AF when using evf, or Touch AF when using the LCD) as it is now available to your new toy?

As Touch Pad AF, particularly using a centre position evf, will give rise to nose focusing (if so, but the Disp key to return it back to center), might cause annoyance sometimes. If not to you, might disable it and keep only Touch AF alive.
