The Z5 likely has only a simple internal switched pad.

Then it's best to not use any pad on the camera at all and adjust the output level of the receiver to match.
As I said, it's bad to pad down and boost up again - so if the camera only has a mic. input that is padded down to accept line level (yuk), then I think I would have to (reluctantly) use the mic. level.
