Default How about a free-moving focus point controlled by the shutterbutton?

The shutter button could have a joystick function that would allow a
precise focus point to be moved at will. When not in use, the shutter
button would lock in place for normal use. If it was sensitive
enough, it could move the frame width with little side to side
movement of the button, thereby not compromising shutter button push
ergonomics. It would help preserve composition because you wouldn't
have to accommodate movement of the frame to secure a desired focus
point.


Why not just focus first, then compose? You'll be wanting auto-exposure
next!
