Yes John I was delighted to find out how clever my camera was, an early bridge camera, in this respect [ if not in every respect ] so i try to avoid putting them wrong.... when I got my first AE[only] movie camera in the fifties/sixties the only wrong exposure came from me thinking I knew better Of course in those days the advice was "It will never work" and people still insist on working in manual [ a masochistic element of the male species? ]... problem is it DOES work and well aas your example better than mine.

The nice thing about using fill in flash is that it helps auto exposure to work. The idea is to take out strong shadows and flatten the lighting some what. This is why lots of wedding photographers use it. It was a problem to get the E-PL1 to work as I wanted but some combination of the immensely long menu did it.. On this one I may have used one of the flash power levels it offers. From memory there are 5 or 6 of them. They are amazing cameras and it's a pity things get "upgraded" so quickly these days. The only bad point is that Olympus seem to have decided to not offer the same level of low light focusing performance as the E-P3 has. It worked with me - E-P3 and then EM-5. I went for the E-P3 to get away from the compact camera type controls. I like me thumb wheels. The other improvements came as a surprise and that re assured me for the EM-5.

I only have the E-PL1 which I bought body only for my legacy lenses with its IBIS and with a tele-converter arriving any day I re-read the manual ... seriously and have second thoughts about Olympus being hopeless for a Panasonic GH2 user to understand So it is back to the 'drawing board' sort of when the T/C arrives ... Come on Mr Postman!

I noticed an eyepiece for my VF-2 at B&H but they want $46 to post it to me ... the eyepiece is just $16 Crazy! I would expect it to fit in a regular letter envolope and USPO is not THAT bad ... this pre-occupation with courier systems
