The E-3 manual *is* available on-line, and that's how I know that it says
effectively just what the E-1 manual says. But it says it on page 78
"Some commercially available flashes require a voltage of 250V or more for
the synchronization connector. The use of this type of flash can damage the
camera or prevent the camera from operating properly. Contact the
manufacturer of the flash for the specifications of the flash
synchronization connector."
Looks like the lawyers have won...

The E-1 manual (on page 108) says: "Some flashes available on the market
operate with a synchro terminal with a voltage of 250 V or over. If one of
these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the camera may not function
normally...". One can be a little unnerved by this statement or read it
very carefully and deduce that the camera is protected up to 250 volts but
not higher.
The E-3 manual isn't available on line so I don't know what that says.
