Printing with Genuine Fractals
Richard Peterson reports great success using Genuine Fractals for printing. He says GF gives clean, sharp edges when enlarging files for printing, those from Photoshop looking 'soft and mushy' by comparison. Based on Richard's recommendation, I've tested GF with the Photoshop LE that comes with the E-10 and the software worked fine, apparently just as it does with the full Photoshop version. Richad likes the results he gets and I have seen numerous other posts in various places by others who are happy with the results they get with GF as well. Enough so that I will be researching GF further and hopefully will have a full article on it at some point. According to Richard's discussions with tech people at Alta Mira, the publisher for GF, the E-10 should be capable of producing 'poster size' images that look great. I look forward to testing that hypothesis at some point. If you have already- then let us know!	Richard Peterson
I plan a feature article on GF Print Pro, so stay tuned! -Bron

Use the Slow Sync feature!
One hint you can pass on to your readers is to explore and be comfortable with the slow sync. I have this on my Nikon N90s with the dedicated Nikon flash and this has gotten some great photos that has earned me more money than most any other photo technique. We do portraits on-scene and when you do some sites that have little sets put up (mostly I refer to Christmas trees, they make great backgrounds) the slow sync lets you expose the faces of your subjects and the longer shutter speed gets you the tree lights or other details that no one who knows this technique can duplicate. I have had customers beat their brains out  trying to dupe my shots (you only have to ask, you know) but it gets me called back again and again to some places. Cameras like the E-10 with built in slow sync make this easy. Use a tripod..	John Palek

Macro Focusing
Using manual focus allows you to focus the camera to it's nearest distance. This way you don't have to remember to turn on/off the Macro setting or scroll through the 3 choices (macro, lens, flashing lens), just switch to manual focus for the shot, then back to auto focus	Matt Chase
I was testing out my new MCON35 macro adaptor for the E10, and found that for some extreme close ups, the camera's AF often has great difficulty in locking on. I switched the metering mode to centre-weighted and the AF performance was much improved! The AF now "locks on" with little hesitation, and the pics are sharp. From my testing on the camera's AF performance, setting the metering mode to ESP generally worked fine outdoors and in good light. When in dim lighting, and indoors, setting it to centre-weighted metering seemed to improve AF performance.	Dennis
Conserve power
When shooting, leave the LCD in the default mode (off). You can press the "monitor" button twice quickly if you need to review your last shot. This also cuts shot-to-shot time by 1-2 seconds.	Bron
The LCD can be a useful tool or a lazy crutch, Make sure it's a tool you only use when necessary. With a true TTL SLR, it's needed much less when shooting with the E-10 than with many other digital cameras. You should know what your picture is going to look like when you shoot it, most of the time. Using the LCD to spot check your settings once in awhile is fine. Using it after every shot is wasteful. I use mine sparingly, often not at all. I find my pictures are just as good, you will , too.
Critical Focusing Tip
Zoom in as far as possible (140mm), lock the focus by pressing the shutterbutton half way down and check the focus in the viewfinder (refocus if needed untill it's ok, zoom out at the desired angle and take the photo). This also wotks for manual focus. In that way, you're (almost) certain to have a correct focus. When focus is 'critical', I always use this methode.
