Matjaz,
About flash compensation: Did you test the flash button on the camera front
left side (same type of button as other MZ-cameras). Perhaps this button has
some additional features compared to its low-cost MZ-cameras? But, the
specification list did not mention this feature (although this list do not
need to be 100%...)
