Where is the cable designed to be used?

Troubleshooting

Cameras are not syncing.

Check the cable connections on both cameras. Ensure the cable is securely connected to the Multi Interface Shoe or compatible port. Confirm that the main camera has "Movie w/ shutter" assigned to the release button (for movie sync).

One camera is not triggering.

Make sure both cameras are powered on and set up correctly. Ensure the shutter button on the main camera is fully depressed. Check camera settings for any conflicts with external triggering.

Poor image quality or incorrect settings on one camera.

Verify the individual camera settings (ISO, aperture, focus, white balance) on both cameras. Ensure the RX0 is properly configured for the desired output. Check the lens for any smudges.
