MZ-S:
1. In aperture priority mode set whatever exposure you want but make
sure that shutterspeed don't exceed the synch speed.
2. Turn the command dial one click to the right, then one click stop to
the left. (This is done with a twist of the thumb). Now you have locked
the metered value for the ambient exposure. You can of course set any
value you like for the ambient exposure - not only the metered one.
3. Dial in desired flash compensation with the exposure compensation
dial.
4. Shoot as many shot as you want. If you want to vary the ambient
exposure just do so by directly dialing in desired exposure; all you
have to worry about is that the exposure bar in the viewfinder read the
desired flash compensation, say, -1,5 stop from the set exposure.
5 When finished reset exposure compensation and press green button.
