pot or center weighted metering. The PZ-1p also does not display the matrix metering indicator when a pre "A" lens will not allow it to use matrix metering, the PZ-1 will not visually indicate that matrix metering is not available with pre "A" lenses. I also prefer the PZ-1p over the PZ-1 for this and other user interface improvements. -- David S. Nature and wildlife photography http://www.sheppardphotos.com
