Are you talking about with or without a vertical grip? Although not the only way the book correct way to shoot vertical is to have the shutter button on top which is the same orientation as it would have with a vertical grip. Several cameras I know of can tell the orientation such that one of the left side AF points becomes the bottom center when held vertical. Obviously in those cases where somebody might hold it the opposite way with the shutter on the down side the sensors would be in the wrong area. This might come into play as you are suggesting possibly. I'm not totally familiar with the MZ-S pattern myself. Kent Gittings

Hi, Just out of curiosity, why do you think (if you find it lacking) MZ-S lacks a bottom (far-right when vertical) AF point? For me, it would make AFing portraits pretty difficult, as we (the part of PDML using Latin alphabet or writing in left>right direction) tend to read photos from left to right, so an "optimized" portrait placing is looking to the left, on right side of frame (if I can exaggerate it somehow). I am just curious if this missing AF point is beacuse of Japanese "reverse" right>left reading direction. Our reading direction has a definite impact on reading photographs, and their has probably too. Good light, (bored) Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
