Mark, Not having used an MZ-S. I can say I was at first confused by all the pf's on the PZ-1p. One day though I was spinning the dials and realized I could tell what they all were just fine. It was amazing to realize that I had been making it hard in my mind when the camera was already showing me what to do.
