The VIEW includes two 2.5mm TRS auxiliary ports (#9, #10) for motion sync, shutter cable triggering and external integrations.
Note that the battery indicator in the VIEW will prematurely show a low battery, and if charging a completely dead battery, it can take some time before progress becomes visible. This light can be disabled in Settings->Charge Indicator.
When connected the Charge Indicator (#11) will illuminate red, blinking while charging, and steady when full. To charge the VIEW, connect a Micro-B USB cable from a USB power supply (USB charger, battery pack or computer) to the charging port (#12) on the VIEW.
