That is a feature of the nicad pack. It's a rear release trigger. Very nice
when you are shooting a vertical composition. The lock button prevents the
camera from going off as it bounces against your belt buckle.

| Hi!
| I have an older Motor Drive 1 (has the single flat trigger on top - no
| remote connector) and was wondering what the small button and lock slide
| is for on the back? I thought at first it was to lock the battery pack
| to the drive, but that doesn't make sense. Can one of the Zuiko gurus
| clue me in on what this is for?!!
|
| Thanks!
