My salesman pointed out to me the cutting of the tab as an optional fix to
the shutter release lock when I seriously looked at the camera.  He also
told me a device he would call "short cable release" or "trigger extender". 

I did not like the idea of modifying a brand-new camera.  I thought that I
might do just that after the one- year  warranty  will have expired if I
could not find a short cable release.  I like my home-made short cable
release better because I don't have to make any modification to the camera.
