yes - that does work. But I would like to be in semi-automatic mode, IE
shutter priority or aperture priority mode.

I just did a shoot today in shutter priority mode and TTL with the DMR.
Seemed to work ok. I have to go through the 200 pics to check closely.
I kept my metz flash set to -3 compensation.
I could select any shutter speed at or below 1/250
