14-3-2 TIMING I/O CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS [TIMING I/O]

The camera uses HIROSE model HR10A-7R-6S connector for inputting the external trigger
pulse when the camera is operated in external control mode. Input should be TTL level, and the
external trigger pulse polarity can be set either to negative or positive.
