Hi Phong,

Thank you for your reply.  Generally, I generally take pics of my children, 
and yes, I generally point down to meter to augment too much light from the 
sky. Question, is the white spot on the M6ttl represents 100% metering area? 
So lets say at 35mm, what is the approx area in the VF does the white spot 
covers?

Regards,


Nelson
