That is correct, from the earlier descriptions of the MZ-S new AF it has
become clear that the matrix used for metering and the AF focus points
are more or less matched. Using Pentax function 5 will cause the metering
cell closest to the focus-point to be used.
I guess it will not be as selective as "spot" mode in the center because the
matrix cells are too big for that ...

Well, You cannot set that to "the corner of the frame", there are only
6 points to choose from, and 5 of those are on one line!
