Lon, There is a nipple about the size of a small bean. It has a contact, insulated, down the center and screws into the release up top on the camera. Push the button on the end of the cable and the circuit is closed, the shutter fires. The shutter has an electromechanical release. This is why the camera becomes locked up without battery power.
