You would have to have a really, really long, and dexterous middle finger.

The MZ5N has the wide or spot position switch there, and I don't find that
at all easy to move repeatedly with my middle finger. Since it's against
the lens mount and not the camera body, are you using the back of your
finger where your fingernail is for it? If not, are you somehow able to
twist your middle finger into position while not affecting your shutter
finger?

Well, so far, nobody who has handled the camera has found it easy to do with
the right hand, while keeping a finger on the shutter, and simultaneously
using the thumb or another finger to turn the right side command dial to
select the focus point.
