Thanks for your answer, Boz! My MZ-7 manual also says that in manual mode, the foreground is always correctly exposed by the TTL flash, while the background is dependent on the manual settings. I have also heard that by setting the exposure manually and changing the ISO setting (e.g. manually set overexpose by 1 stop and set ISO from e.g. 100 to 200) you can actually achieve flash compensation even with bodies and flashes that do not normally support this feature - the flash underexposes by one stop, but it is compensated by the 1 stop overexposure of the ambient light. I have never tried this myself, but I am not sure that I understand the difference between dialing an exposure compensation of +1 and telling the camera in manual mode to overexpose by one stop - isn't the result one and the same, or am I missing something? Anyway, if the *ist can achieve correct exposure with the DOF trick or in manual mode even with flash, it remains interesting for me...
