Ahh, I knew I'm not familiar with HyP mode <g>. Thanks for
clarification. But, at least for me, Hyper manual mode which MZ-S
uses is exactly what I wanted. To start with right exposure setting
and than work in manual mode from that point on. In a sec. And go
back with the push of the button. This is what MZ-S offers for sure.
I like it. I don't care much about Hyper Program.
BTW, it makes flash exposure compensation much easier too. Of course,
in comparison to MZ series only. Lets try it: you want to use fill-in
flash with let's say -1EV. While in manual metered mode, with the
left (exposure comp.) dial you dial in ) -1EV value, than aim to your
subject, push blue (IF?) button to get the correct exposure and than
just open aperture /or change shutter speed with main dial to
+1value, which you can see on the bar on the right of the viewfinder.
That's it. Maybe it's just me, but it appears to me much easier as I
have to go around for it on my MZ-3.
But still, I'd really like separate flash exposure compensation on
MZ-S. Just one additonal button and the rotation of the main dial. To
much to ask?
