Re: eos m6 mkii - no wireless flash control

Only M5 or M50 can do that, when you mount EVF on M6, there is no hotshoe left to mount flash or radio trigger like ST-E3-RT, use LCD for composition with flash then, this has been addressed by other members who are still waiting for M5mkIi to be able to use EVF with flash.

Please correct me if I'm wrong - I can't find a setting that would let me fire my Canon Speedlite off camera with the camera and EVF electronic viewfinder attached to the hotshoe.

Any thoughts - the built in flash is generally insufficient for daylight fill flash unless you are really close to the subject.

I usually do street portraits up close with a speedlite - and would like to do that with the M6 AND EVF and external flash. -

Thoughts??? - and thanks
