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

My thought is that the perspective from waist level is much more attractive for portraits than that from my eye level. (Unless the intent is to look down on the subject.)  That's why, in the film days, wedding photographers never had pentaprisms on their Hasselblads (that and the expense).  I'm too tall, lazy and old to be getting down on one knee to take a portrait using the viewfinder.
