I quote from an interview published in a Japanese camera magazine:

"If you think a camera’s control system is too complicated or troublesome for 
the first time you use it, you may start to dislike the camera and seldom use 
it afterward. Eventually you may stop enjoying photography altogether — even 
if the camera offers the finest performance and quality. That’s why we were 
particularly concerned about the MZ-S’s control system. Because of its 
unconventional styling, people may at first glance be a little hesitant to 
try it out. But once you lay your hands on this camera, you will be surprised 
by its outstanding feel and flawless operation. We wanted the MZ-S to be the 
camera that people take with them everywhere they go. If you still prefer a 
camera with either a digital or analog control system, that’s fine — because 
we believe our users deserve choice. Pentax offers all three types in its 
35mm SLR lineup to meet every user’s preference. But, by incorporating the 
new hybrid control system and a host of sophisticated features into one of 
the most compact bodies available today — without any frills or gimmicks — 
we are confident that we have successfully developed a truly epoch-making 
camera, which points to the future of 35mm SLR photography. We hope all 
photographers — both advanced and beginners — will take the opportunity to 
experience the MZ-S firsthand, and see and feel the real difference"

So now you know.

Kind regards

Peter
