Little live view A/F tip
In live view on a tripod, I tend to switch to manual focus, and zoom in with digital zoom and focus peaking to confirm the exact spot I'm after.
View returns to full screen once you half press the shutter button again and you're all good to go.
No I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Didn't know about the AF point/area ability in live view though, so will go and see if that's available on say a K-3 as well? Thanks for the heads up.

Like Richard I too use LV to focus when the camera is on a tripod. Usually in manual mode with the zoom set to 100%.
