When using SEL for the focus point is there a way to centre it with a single button press?

It was possible on the K10 but can't find the option on the K7.

Press the Centre of the 4 way controller and the Centre AF point is selected.

Doesn't work mate, that just changes the use of the 4 way controls. Thanx for the reply though ;O) I dont thinks it's possible like it is on the older models.

Actually, page 129 of the K5 manual says:
Quote:

OK Button: Returns the AF point to the center of the AF frame.

Press and hold OK Button: ...
(My K5 is in for repair) It may be that you need to hold down the AF button to switch the enable/disable and then pressing OK will center it.

It's probably quicker to rotate the focus point selector - because when you switch back to the choice of AF point it will have remembered where you last were

Doesn't work either Matt.
Your right, it would be just as easy to use the 4 way to centre the point again, I just seemed to use it on my K10 so I was wondering if it's possible on the 7 is all.

Been pressing and holding everything to see if it will centre the point, I think maybe I should have a pant leg rolled up while hopping on my left legs is the way forward
