Hello, thanks for the pinout....

I would like to power on and off the camera with pin number 19 but the camera display seems that it "wants" to get on but it does not eventually. Then I tried to power up the camera by using the on/off button and it starts up the camera so the battery not the problem as it is strong enough to power the camera. Then, I have three questions:

  1. is there any need of a resistor or something extra or to ground another pins to start up the camera?
  2. what does "pulled out by the camera" mean (sorry I don´t have an electronic background)
  3. how can I get the video out the 30 pin bus connector?

Thank you very much ;D
