I have an AF500FTZ and a Sunpack MZ440AF and often use flash compensation in Manual mode of my MZ-5n. However, it seems not to work with my wife's MZ-7. The whole idea is to manually set exposure parameters metered for ambient light and then apply ordinary exposure compensation, which will affect only the flash output and not the parameters. It means that the camera must allow user to use its exposure compensation feature in Manual mode. The MZ-5n and 3 do that since they are controlled manually (by rings and switches). The MZ-7, on the other hand, is controlled "electronically" and its exposure compensation feature DOESN'T WORK in Manual mode. Thus, one cannot apply "manual flash compensation" with this body and most probably with any other one that is controlled in the same way (MZ-50, MZ-30, MZ-10 etc.). Correct me if I'm wrong... I wonder, however, if the flash compensation (the "real" one, NOT the one described above) is possible with AF360FGZ and any MZ camera other than MZ-S and MZ-6, as the flash has this feature "built-in".
