Gary will probably answer on this, but I believe he uses the self timer when
he does the tests, which has a mirror pre-fire as part of its function. This
is only a function of the cameras made since the OM-30. The OM-2 through
OM-20 did not work this way I believe.
Since you would not normally use the self timer for regular use, you would
not be eliminating the vibration of the mirror slap.
