Find a DFOOB. These are commonly included in CHICO flash outfits for about
$10. The DFOOB will slide into the shoe of your camera. Slide you 24 finder
into the shoe of the DFOOB and you flash into the shoe on the end of the
arm of the DFOOB.

OR- Buy a CTOOM flash bracket. It was designed to use withe earlier cameras
- - the ones with the mounting stud, but can also be used on the M6.
