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 ... >"Alexandre A. P.

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!

Re: MZ-S Pentax function number 5
I do not own an MZ-S but from my experience with cameras of other makers, your conclusion are right. In Canons there is a Custom Function linking AF and AE at the focus point which means that spot (or - more appropriatel - semi-spot) metering will will be taken at the automatically or manually selected focusing point.
