The AF500 will fire in TTL mode when ever it's attatched to the MZ-5n, off camera you can use it wireless via slave flash and calculate manually ( ie no connectors ). Flash compensation is a trick, I think the flash circuitry is there for it but there is no way to get to it. The way to do the trick is to set the camera MANUALLY to the ambient scene ( or close to it ) and use the exposure compensation dial to set the desired compensation. Since the aperture and shutter are manually set the camera uses the flash to compensate, works well for fill flash in daylight.
