The R8 in P mode outdoors will set the SF 20 to -1 2/3 EV when it senses 
that you need fill. The M6 TTL cannot do this, you must do it manually. 
In addition, the R8 will indicate "HI" if the flash has overexposed the 
scene (e.g. you were just too close for the aperture selected). The M6 
TTL will only indicate underexposure (the display goes blank), not 
overexposure.

Hope this helps,

Gilbert
