Well, you do have have flash compensation in any mode practically speaking because you
do have any mode accessible simultaneously on MZ-S (and even more so with the Z-1p).
In fact, the MZ-S approach would be simpler I guess than the Z-1p. I don't know how
the F80 work but you don't have hypermodes and hence need a separate switch for flash
compensation - anyway you need to dial in exposure values somewhere on the F80 as well
if its not fixed. I do not undersand why it should be more work to press the MZ-S IF
button than the F80 flash exposure comp. button.
The MZ-S offer flash compensation but in a different manner than other cameras; it is
just as efficient and easy to use.
Thinking modes is completely wrong here; the MZ-S has constant and at anytime hyper
modes. Its just about setting exposure; whether you do it this way or that doesn't
matter; you don't change mode on the MZ-S - just exposure.

Yes and thats exactly what you find on the MZ-S. Adding a dedicated flash compensation
function would have made it possibly slower in use.
