Pentax MZ-S

1. Summary

Renew from MZ-3 to MZ-S in May, 2001.
The most advanced model in the Pentax MZ series.
I didn't feel actually heavy so though it became heavy about 100g.
Basic performance increases in comparison with MZ-3.
And added interesting functions like Pentax functions, the predictive 6-point AF,
mirror up, On-the-film data recording and so on.

2. Operation Panel

In the left, Exposure compensation and Auto-bracketing.
In the right, Metering mode lever, a drive mode lever, Tv/mode dial, AE lock.
AF special button in the rear.
