Back when I shot film I used my PZ-1p bodies in center-weighted averaging meter mode, and always got perfectly exposed slides. For a while I used to bracket when shooting slides. Then I just stopped, because the original exposure was always correct.
Don't use the 1p in program metering mode if you are shooting slide film. Program metering is designed to lighten shadows, which is fine with color negative film. With slide film in high-contrast light this will give you blown-out highlights. Center-weighted is fine, as is spot-metering.

OTOH, I have the impression (not formally tested) that the PZ-1p does better with greens, which the PZ-1 tends to overexpose.
