The little tab in the upper right corner is not a switch (even though it
looks like one) it is only a spring loaded tab that keeps the panel from
rattling around. Ex: All the panel does when you flip it over to full TTL
is push the main switch over to full manual. No other electrical contact or
switching is done.
