Output wiring example: Inductive load (Relay) driving
Do not connect inductive load RL directly to camera digital output. A transistor must be used to prevent damage of the output. See image
below for possible inductive load driving. Resistor R can be connected to digital outputs and power supply to provide the necessary bias
current for transistor. You should also use an external diode to protect the transistor from over voltage while disconnecting an inductive
load. Keep in mind that this connection has an inverted logic. Current will flow through the load at the start of the camera.

For positive logic you can use a second bipolar transistor.
