"to meter the subject" - important part there. It knows how much flash it sent out, and how much it got back. Isn't that the whole point of autoflash? "get back less than expected, increase power. get back more than expected, decrease power"

If I stand the same distance away, it's a completely different scene, which potentially would have a greater metering impact than 4 feet of distance (unless you are at the edge of your flash range), don't you think?

I'm suggesting the same distance and framing, so 187mm on the 70D, 300mm on the 6D.

I will happily do this when I have some more time.

It sure isn't a problem on the 6D, regardless of whether it's a problem on other bodies besides the 70D.

I don't think one photo proves it isn't a problem on the 6D. It certainly is a problem on the 5D and 1D series, as I linked several times.

People complaining about their photos being a bit too dark, sounds like what I am showing on my 6D slightly underexposing.  Not the unusable results the 70D is producing.
