Hi,
listening to all these discussions about flashed and the *ist-D I
wonder:
Will the internal flash support P-TTL?
I am a proud owner of the MZ-S for a few days now (replacing my
K2dmd...)
and found it a little bizarre that the internal flash does NOT support
this function.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0308/03082702casioexz4.asp
Still with the same lens, but with more megapiksels. Will we soon see new,
upgraded "genuine" Optio S?

What exactly is P-TTL?
Is it a TTL with a pre flash to determine the flash setting ahead of the
main flash burst? With the TTL I have on my PZ-1 this is done during the
flash burst. What is the advantage of P-TTL?
