Nikon Z8 no functions with cable plugged

We tested as good as we can. But there will always be things we didn't find. If you found things that apparently don't work as they should, you can report them here so we can take care of them as soon as possible.

Hello,
Basic functions work well with the unleashed plugged in to the trigger port.
When I add the USB plug, things don't work so well. Sometimes the whole thing freezes up. I was once able to download images to phone but never again. GPS icon active occationally but mostly not.
Assistance appreciated.

I believe you might have managed to insert the cable into the Unleashed the wrong way round! There is a slot and key that should stop you from doing so, but because the casing is plastic, it’s possible to overcome this. But don't worry: we designed it so that even if you do manage, it won’t break anything - it just won’t work.
The LED won't light up, the Unleashed N1 might trigger or halfpress the camera's shutterbutton, and playback and the camera menu will not be accessible.

If you're looking at the front of the Unleashed, with the logo toward you, and the Unleashed in its regular, upright orientation, the socket will be at the top.
On the Unleashed N1, plug the cable into the Unleashed so that the cable points toward the right, ie toward the side of the camera.
