Apart from not agreeing with you on a number of points ;-) the shutter speed
ring
is not the switch itself. It is a machined piec of aluminium with square
notches
milled on the inside. A sort of leaf spring forces a small ball bearing into
the
notches to proved the positive click-action. There are also gear teeth milled
in it
which engage a gear wheel in the body, which must be where the shaft position
sensor/switch is located.
I suspect Olympus may have varied the stiffness of the leaf spring on the Tis.
