【How to attach 「Optical D Cable L」】
1)The pre-installed "rubber cap" has a partial hole.
2)Puncture the hole through by sharp instrument like a drill (*9). Trim cut edge of the hole by a design knife etc so that there is no remaining rubber pieces.
　
3)Put 「Optical D Cable L」 into the “rubber cap” so that bear end of the cable is projected from the cap at about 4mm/0.16' to securely transmit built-in flash light. Make sure that there is no rubber pieces etc. on the edge of the 「Optical D Cable L」.
4)Install the cap with 「Optical D Cable L」 on 「PT-E05」optical connector to use INON 「D-2000」/「Z-240」 strobe for highly accurate “S-TTL auto” shooting.
