Assuming it's used in poor lighting conditions, invariably that will
mean wide apertures, with very low flash power and limited DoF.
When you say "another OTF exposure", I presume you mean as per OM-2(N)
flash OFT (i.e. flash quench), rather than it closing the shutter (as
per 4Ti with SuperFP)? In which case I agree, but it would render the
PROGRAM mode combined with flash somewhat lame, IMO. But I agree -- I
can't see any other way, unless it just chose a "medium" aperture of,
say, f5.6, and tough if GN/5.6 wasn't enough distance.

It's a fair point, and it's why I'm determined to *understand* what is
going on, rather than just learning it. If I can understand how and why,
at least I should be able to work things out from first principles.
