OK, I submit to your superior knowledge (and distinct lack of tact). 

I haven't owned the E-10 for around 18 months now so my recollection is hazy. I 
can only assume that the shutter must be in the light path as there is no room 
for in in front of the sensor and behind the beam splitter and it must be 
closed for a very shot period of time after the shutter is depressed as the lag 
before image capture is less than 100ms. I expect that the aperture leaves are 
used as a leaf shutter but I can't remember noticing it.

Cheers,
