GX10 firmware 1.3 fault?

The GX10 has the function as do all cameras of focusing on shutter press.
It also has an AF button that can be menu set to autofocus or not.

When the latter is set to ON the shutter release focus should disable but does not.
This renders the AF button pointless.
The above info is confirmed in the Samsung D-Xenon 100 Macros lens user manual.

Has anybody solved the problem of not disabling the shutter focus action or is it indeed a firmware bug?

If it's anything like its Pentax sibling, I think you have to "disable AF on shutter half-press" in the custom menu.
These buttons are in fact configured separately.

Thank you very much for that, I could not see it for looking, perhaps I expected different wording.
It works fine now!
