I have an M7 which I think is similar to the M6TTL in this regard. I learned this overexposure lessons when a roll of indoor flash came up almost all too bright with my OM-4 / F280 flash setup. In many ways, the M7 and OM4 share many same strength and weaknesses. With the OM-4, the Zuiko list members suggest that I should choose an aperture where shutter speed is just below the sync speed (which is 1/60 on the OM), and in most case that should give good exposure. It seems to work pretty well. That plus avoiding deep background where the metering is fooled etc. In that case, just dial in the an aperture compensation factor. // richard <http://www.imagecraft.com> <http://www.dragonsgate.net/mailman/listinfo> On-line orders, support, and listservers available on web site.
