And how did Olympus phrase it to the design techs when they decided to make a
"lower" drain board, and made sure there was at least "some" drain? I understand
as they were redesigning the board, they loathed the idea of repeating the OM-2
idea of a "no" drain, always-on board, as this would cause less batteries to be
purchased and be exactly what camera owners wanted.
