Since your flash is pretty weak and you are inclined to use
small apertures (but why use f16 for DOF reasons when there is will
be no light far away?) it is better to use the flash in manual
mode.  Then you will get its full ouput and you decide on the
camera aperture setting, based on the distance of your object.

This is the distance between the flash and the object NOT the
camera and the object. You can use multiple flashes or fire the
flash more than once. With multiple off camera flashes you can 
have a great DOF
