2.1.3 Pin Assignment for the Power Connector

The power input connector type is a microminiature push-pull lock type connector, the Hirose
HR 10A-7R-6PB. The power supply should deliver 12 V at a minimum of 500 mA (A504
(A503 ) or 250 mA (A501

You can use the Hirose HR 10A-7P-6S connector for your cable.

2.1.4 Pin Assignment for the Flash Trigger Receptacle

The Flash trigger output connector type is a microminiature push-pull lock type connector, the
Hirose HR 10A-7R-4S. The receptacle provides a signal (FlashOut) for an external flash. This
signal can be programmed via the FlashCtrl register. The signal can be deactivated, or tied to an
"effective exposure" signal (Integrate Enabled) generated internally, or tied to the external ExFlash
input, or it can be permanently active. The effective exposure is the period when charges are
actually accumulated by the sensor.
The output signal can be set to TTL Active High (default setting), Low Side Switch (Open
Collector), or High Side Switch via the Flash Trigger Modes register (see section 4.2.4.16).
The pin assignment is given in Table 2-4. Figure 2-4 shows the three variants of output schematics
of the flash trigger connector.

The FlashOut signal is short-circuit proof. The signal is electrically isolated from other signals in
the camera. See the timing diagram in Figure 2-3 and the flash trigger output schematics in Figure
