[OM] A flashy question...

Hi!

    After aquiring some olympus equipment a few years ago through a string
of rather unfortunate incidents, I have finally decided to upgrade to an
OM-2 (from and OM-10) in anticipation of my upcoming trip to London.
However, after glancing through the manual for the Quick Auto 310 (which is
one of the pieces of equipment that I couldn't really utilize w/o the OM-2)
I noticed that the TTL auto only syncs with shutter speeds of under 1/30th
of a second.   Is it just me or is this kind of low?  I always thought the
threshold for handheld shots was about 1/60th of a second.  So what does
this mean?  You MUST use a tripod in conjunction with the flash?
Logistically speaking, this would seem unreasonable as I would not beleive
that olympus would design something with such an obvious flaw.  Does anybody
have this same combination of components (OM-2 + 310)?  How do you deal with
this discrepancy?

Thanks a bunch!
    Steve
