GH4 Move the focus pinpoint with wheel?

[DigitalBard]

Is it possible to re-position the focus point without the touchscreen? I miss the ability to move the focus point using the arrows/wheel from my Canon.

You should be able to use the d-pad.

I haven't been able to... Do I need to select a function first? I have the touchpad closed and facing the body and I'm looking through the viewfinder and I need to move the focus point without opening the touchpad.

Go to Page 3 of the Custom Menu and make sure Direct Focus Area is On. Then you can click the D-Pad and use it to position your focus area.

You are awesome! I am going to name my neighbors children after you... They won't understand it, but they don't need to.

For completeness sake, the other way is to press Fn3, select single point, then press left. It's the default way on the other Lumix cameras.
