Only 6 volts? That's really second rate.
If you really want to do a bit of playing with macro fill flash, I think you
want something that can go off the camera.
I don't keep up on flash stuff, but I'll bet there are units that can be
triggered by the on-camera flash, even set very
low. With something like that, you could even do hand-held flash, and easily
try different angles.
As it is, the E-510 shuts off the built-in flash when one is attached to the
shoe.
