R Rashkae Senior Member Nov 28, 2005 19,085 14 0 Apr 19, 2010 #2 Probably because when you shoot with a flash,the camera switches to a smaller aperture, thus increasing DOF. Plus the faster shutter speed of course.

Diavonex Senior Member Sep 23, 2008 3,641 0 36 Admiralty Apr 25, 2010 #8 I did a little test today. Shutter speed of 1/30 and 1/250 second with flash will freeze the blades of the fan. As such I think shutter speed have little impact when using flash unless ambient light is bright. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
