Hi David,
Some years ago by the time the 5N was just released, a well known
and appreciated pdml member - Roberto Burgos (who unfortunately has
left the group for some time now) conducted a formal test of the
MZ-5N flash compensation under controlled conditions ( flashmeter,
studio,
Hi,
Question: Is this with a particular flash er, unit, or have you
tried a few?

You can verify with an AF360FGZ (or 330/500FTZ ?): the useful distance
varies, the max. distance increases in case of correction -
To verify if also works in wireless mode !

Brilliant! What a logical, typically Pentax, way to adjust flash output.
It's intuitive in its simplicity, but why didn't Pentax tell anyone about
it?

It seems important if you use a flash and have a pentax?

What you forget is that doing this alone is more work than the whole
procedure on the MZ-S. It involves two different wheels, a button that

Amen.

Sorry to rain on your boosterism, but while the flash compensation
technique you describe works, it is indeed a cumbersome work around.
I use flash compensation mostly for shooting birds and macro shots. With
birds that means slow flash synch. My technique with the Pz-1p:

If you do want easy flash compensation in program mode buy the new

Lock that exposure - it takes a twist of the thumb.
Dial in exp. compensation. Thats it.
Its far easier and faster than on the Z-1p I used to

By corollary, wouldn't the MZ-S technique apply to

What was Pals method of flash compensating on the MZ-S? i must have

Setting the flash compensation happens more frequently than the
casual flash shooter would expect. Especially when flash is not the
main light source, compensation could vary widely during the same
session. For instance, at one point the subject steps into the
backlight and you need -2 EV

In the absence of a dedicated control on the body,
it does better than the multiple steps procedure on Z-1p.
Exactly. A dedicated flash compensation interface needs a button + a whell for
adjusting it + a display - at the minimum. Then you need a way to disengage it.
