We don't disagree, but you simply state the obvious. The question is how do you decide the required fill-in-ratio without careful metering first, and how do you know what *exosure* the camera will choose (even though this will not affect the ratio)? The camera will meter like an OM-2, except that you'll have an additional lightsource that can't be seen in the viewfinder. If you're able to judge and control this within 1/3 stop even when the background and subject have different brightness, then I'm very impressed.
But as always, just continue to do whatever works for *you*.
