ZX5-N/MZ-S flash compensation

[David Willecke]

I have noticed that on my ZX5-N & MZ-S Camera's, the exposure compensation dial becomes a flash compensation dial if either the on-camera flash is popped up or an external flash unit is attatched--that is, setting the exposure compensation dial no longer changes the camera's shutter speed or the aperture setting, it only changes the flash output--this is true in program mode, shutter priority, and aperature priority mode. Pentax does not include this information in their manuals and from what I understand this is not how most camera's exp. comp. dials work. Has anyone else noticed this? I am just looking for some confirmation that I am not crazy. I think this is a wonderful feature because it in effect allows me to control the fill flash ratio.
