Olympus "PT-E05" has optical cable connectors for Olympus genuine fiber optics and INON "Optical D Cable L" can be plugged in the connectors by using pre-installed "rubber caps" after some modification.


[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.
