Ok, I see what you are talking about. It is to save settings for non-cpu lenses. I set that a long time ago for my non chipped AI-S lenses and use one of my Function buttons to recall it. Playing with it the only thing it seems to do is set min shutter speed to 1/focal length. So for my 105 1.8 AI-S it picks 1/125. In AE with auto ISO, the speed stays at 1/125 with the ISO changing as you change aperture with the aperture ring. You cannot change aperture with the camera body as it is not a chipped lens.
It is only when you set it to Manual metering, that you can control the shutter speed directly but this works with Auto ISO where it picks the ISO for 'correct' exposure depending on your Shutter/Aperture combination, or full manual if you do not have it set as Auto ISO.
Basically I do not see any difference in behaviour than if you just had a super cheap 'dumb' adapter if you are using non-chipped lenses.
With chipped lenses it doesn't make any difference. The camera recognizes that it is a chipped lens and so ignores whatever non-cpu setting you have. You still get a message saying you need to set aperture to the min setting, and you still cannot control the aperture with the aperture ring. The main difference is the FTZ can AF with G and higher lenses.
Bottom line - with the Z cameras all pre-setting non-cpu lenses in the menu does is select the min shutter speed based on 1/focal length. I do not see aperture setting saved in EXIF.
