ZX-L = MZ-6 (MZ-L in Japan). > an infrared system to ensure correct focus in dim light According to the MZ-6 manual (which Pentax Scandinavia e-mailed me several weeks ago btw... :-) ), the flash is used to provide illumination when it's to dark for the autofocus to work. No infrared system there... One question: It seems like spot-metering is on by default, is this correct? Now, what happens when one press the AE-L button in manual exposure mode - does one get an exposure reading with the spot meter? Another question: When the autofocus is set to also lock the exposure, will this be an exposure read by the spot meter if the AE-L is linked to the spot meter?
