While it seems the battery less back up speeds are faster. That being the case you can not use a regular flash with no batteries. A weird deal. But we'll see. . . <snip> ====================================================================== It seems reasonable to me that the M7's back-up mechanical speed(s), for batteryless operation, would not necessarily be the same as the flash synch. speed. Why? Because the M6 TTL cannot be used for flash without batteries and, presumably, the same TTL flash capabilities are being retained in the M7. So it makes sense that the M7, too, would be unable to fire a flashgun without batteries.
