Hi Ed and all,

I know the sensor orientation.  What I was not sure about was whether or not
MZ-5n being able to choose the AF sensor, as you were saying that it is not
switchable on 5n.  I know MZ-3 can, but I do not have an MZ-5n.  I thought
that the MZ-5n also can switch between wide area focus and single sensor
(centre).
Without being able to choose the narrow area sensor, it would be difficult
to focus on eyes.  Vertical/horizontal sensor orientation is another issue,
but with the narrow centre sensor, it usually focus on eyes without problem.

Cheers,

Ken
