Right, the F280 doesn't have the pins which is why it can't be charged by
the "C" cells in the grip handle.  It does have the pocket near the bottom
in the same location where the pins are found in the T-20/T-32.  I presumed
Olympus did this so it would fit into the grip's hot shoe.

What has always puzzled me: Why didn't Olympus put in the pins to provide
the external power connection as it did with the T-20/T-32?
