Should be a switch, as you are facing the camera,lower right side of the lens mount. I think there is a switch on the R6. 2.) Yes TTL, when you plug the proper SCA adapter into the flash shoe, it I believe it sets itself to ~1/90th and TTL is active. I forget the SCA number. I had an R6 and did a lot of flash with it with a Metz 60CT-4. Worked perfectly. Including flash fill outside. 3.) Mirror lockup is the cable release socket on the left side of the lens mount, opposite side of the VF light switch. Use a cable release to release the mirror. I really like this way of releasing the mirror. Same as my current R7's. Jim
