The MZ/ZX 5n fill technique has been described before, but bears repeating. Simply put your camera in manual mode and set the exposure for the ambient background, turn flash on for TTL and turn the exposure compensation dial on the camera to - 1, or what ever value you desire. Very easy. Even easier is to use a diffuser , such as the Stoffen Omni Bounce, on your flash. Because it eats up about 1 1/2 stops of exposure you don't have to make any corrections on the camera or the flash. Just set manual exposure for the ambient background turn on the flash and shoot. I have both the white and gold colored Omni's for my Sunpack 444D.
