I have MZ-5n (European XZ-5n) and according to the information in the
manual, with type M lenses (K mount) you can use both center-weighted and
spot mettering (and both with flash TTL automatic). With more advanced
lenses (KA, KAF, and KAF2) you can also use matrix mettering. And BTW, for
manual lenses AF support is working only when lens is 5.6 or brighter.
