<< First of all though, I have the PZ-1 , not the PZ-1p.
My problem is this: After looking at a pz-1p manual online, to try and
reverse learn most of the features on my pz-1, I noted that on the 1p, when
using multi segment metering there is a display that shows a rectangle, with
the segments on it. As opposed to the spot meter display that shows a
rectangle with a dot in the center. However, on my pz-1, I cannot find the
icon that differentiates spot from multi.
Any help appreciated. >>
Jeremy,
I'll look on my PZ-1, but it definitely does multi-segment metering. I don't
remember what the Icon is, but there may be only spot and NOT spot icons.
For some time I was confused about what the PZ-1 does. Unless you have a FA,
F or A lens mounted on it, forget about spot metering. It doesn't do it with
the K and M lenses. Similarly, forget about multi-segment metering with the
K and M lenses. It will give you center weighted no matter how you set the
camera.
As to the PF functions, there is one to set center weighted or spot metering
(PF #1). This is what your PZ-1 will use when you have an A, F, or FA lens
mounted. The Spot switch will TOGGLE you between Matrix and Spot or between
Matrix and Center Weighted.
The manual is not too enlightening on this. I used the PZ-1 for years and
never understood this feature. Only when I started reading this list did
some of our kind Japanese readers help me out.
By the way, I still have a copy of the PZ-1 wallet card describing the PF
functions up on the web at...

Hope this helps, Bob S.
