M6II Exposure Lock / Fill Flash
1

I have the asterisk button set to AEL/FEL (Auto and flash exposure lock; respectively). I expose for the window. Then I move to my subject to focus and shoot using the fill flash onboard.  The camera re-meters for the subject and over exposes the window.

I thought while the asterisk was in the EVF, it should not re-meter the shot but rather keep it where I locked it.  What am I missing?
