How does this make it an internal switch? Do you think external switches on a Nikon D300 can be replaced without opening up the camera? You just pop it off with a tweezer and put in a new one?

As you can see, the switch is a toggle switch, on a metal plate. You can only remove it from the inside of the cover for obvious reasons.

Eric Stevens
And you have to work hard to argue that it is an external switch.

Sandman
So the above, to you, constitutes an *internal* switch?

Eric Stevens
As far as the D300 is concerned, while the actuating buttons, wheels etc project beyond the casing to where the operator can get at them, all the switches etc are inside the casing

Sandman
D300, only internal switches. Gotcha.

I just think it would be pretty weird if someone asked you how to turn on a vacuum cleaner and you replied by saying they should flip the internal switch.

It certainly would be, if I used those terms. I would say 'push this switch with your foot' while pointing to the relevant area on the casing. http://www.sannerud.com/house/DSC04907.JPG shows the underside of the switch assembly removed from the machine. The actual switch is the red object down the bottom of the image. I don't know exactly what it is as I have never had any cause to dismantle our own machine, but it is clear that the switch is inside the shell of the vacuum cleaner and is actuated by depressing a movable part of the shell. The Electrical Wiring Regulations consider it to be an internal switch and so too do I. --
