On the bottom of the E-10 is a well positioned and well designed
tripod mount it's metal which means no shredding of threads and
it's surrounded by a nice rubber foot to ensure that final level
of stability. Because it's located precisely in the center of the
lens and it would appear along the sensor plane it's perfect for
panoramas. Kudos Olympus.
Pop-up Flash
The E-10's pop-up flash is opened manually by pressing the small
button on the left of the viewfinder case. It has a rated range
of Wide: 60 cm - 6.3 m and Tele: 50 cm - 5.2 m which makes it a
pretty powerful unit by the standard of built-in flashes.
Hot-shoe / External Flash
The E-10's hot-shoe comes protected by a small plastic cover which helps
to make the top of the camera look a little neater and protects the connections
from accidental damage. The hot-shoe itself is designed to support the
optional Olympus FL-40 flash unit which will work in a full TTL measured
manner. Using other flash units is possible but the camera will not control
their output (thus a little experimentation may be required).
