In the initial review of the PZ-1, Pop Photo described the MTF
program and it did seem to work -- at least they described it as an
aperture priority mode with safety shifts. They dispelled early
rumors that the MTF program mode somehow "analyzed" the lens and
scene for the best quality; the aperture selected really just came
from optimal aperture information stored in each lens' electronics.
With the zooms, this optimal aperture changes with focal length.

It had access to distance information. No one has been able to
conclusively prove that it was used prior to the MZ-S. This is in
the same category as the MTF program mode that even Pop (we love all
gadgets) Photog couldn't detect that it did anything.

for exposure calculation was the SF-7/Sf-10. It had a
two segment meter that used the distance information.
