With a regular electronic flash, aren't you supposed to use the E-10 set to
manual? I mean, the only flash the E-10 will be dedicated with is the FL40.
Using the camera on auto or program relies on pure luck that the mix of
ambient light with flash will be correct.

| I have a note to the E-10 (or other digital camera) users. If you are
| using on-camera flash for indoor shoot you better use A mode and set
| the aperture to F4 or something smaller. In program mode the camera
| always set to larger aperture and in many cases F2, also the shutter
| speed it set to quite low at wide end (1/15-1/30?). I have ruin a
| party shot due to I haven't notice the reading on the camera, I just
| trusted it too much.
|
| Even the DOF of E-10 is larger than normal 35mm, but it is not really
| large enough to cover group of people when wide open. The pictures
| looked unsharp everywhere as the "appearance DOF" of short focal
| length is large. It was not so distinct between the focus point and
| out-focus area. The out-foucs area just translated to unsharp look
| (while in 35mm the out-focus area could look very soft), I hope you
| will understand what I mean.
