I have asked Simon Stafford.
I am right as mentioned in the above post, the AE/AF sign will NOT be visibly in the viewfinder.
But there is a solution with help from Simon Stafford, thank you.
After setting the mode as mentioned above in controls (f7) you shall halfpress the trigger and after you have got the green dot, then AT THE SAME TIME press the AE/AF-button, then the green dot will stay, and then you can slip the finger from the trigger/shutter, but you can not slip your finger from the AE-/AF-button, you have to press this button permanently.
(it is opposite with the other mode - here you can set it to HOLD)
Still nothing in the viewfinder - beside the green dot.
So the advantage is here as I see it: You can use AF and at the same time use hyperfocal distance - just recompose after getting the focus - normally you read everywhere, that you have to use manual focus when using hyperfocal distance.
