plug

Thursday 23rd of January

Set the camera up the tripod,

flush. Everything works, meter the flash,

check the connections. Set up the target,

focus the camera, set the aperture, and

moth press the button. Nothing works.

Check the menus, everything is set up perfect,

Except that it does not work properly.

It does not work at all.

Later on, after having had the cables

checked by an electronics technician,

after having speculated on all kinds of

things, sit in the office in frustration

Push the connector in half way and press the button again, just for the amusements sake. The system clicks and beeps just as it should. Try again. It works again. Push in the connector all the way, nothing works.
Pull it out again.
Everything works.

Realise that the problem was the checking of the connectors.
The connector is not quite standard, even though it fits. What a waste of time.
