Max, how about:
1. dial exposure compensation (usually for flash it remains the same
for several exposures, so you can skip this step)
2. press green button to get a shutter speed (don't worry, with
flash connected, it'll always be below 1/180)
3. dial around previous shutter speed to cancel compensation and
eventually add specific compensation for ambient light (for
instance, for -1 flash compensation, dial shutter speed one stop
slower, for +1 dial one stop faster).
Maybe not as straightforward as with PZ-1p, but certainly much
faster than MZ-5N and enough for me.
