No, that's a feature unique to recent high-end Nikon's and a couple of old Nikon bodies (F4 and FA). All four of the Pentax DSLR's I've owned default to centre-weighted metering, as did all the Canons and the older Nikons that supported AI metering (not all Nikons have an aperture simulator). -- M.
