I don't know about the exdif infor on the dmr, but on a film dinosaur R8, all
the ROM contacts do is zoom a compatible flash head to the focal length of the
lens or set length on a zoom, besides making it inoperable on pre-R8 cameras.
Doesn't even effect the exposure algorithms as do the Nikon D or Canon which
ever systems. :-(

If I can use these modes then the only thing the ROM does is provide the =

(Metz) and Exif (DM-R).
