The pre-flash should not be noticeable, it's a very quick burst performed
just before the main flash. So that part is normal. There have been reports
of inconsistent TTL exposures with the FL-50. I find I get inconsistent
results as well so I've been using mostly regular auto mode. I find it is
far more consistent with bounce lighting. Supposedly sending the E-1 along
with the FL-50 back to Olympus for adjustment will fix the problem. I've
been meaning to do this but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I suppose
I should do it before my warranty runs out at the end of the month :-)
