How important is the "Electronic cable release socket cap", that little bit of plastic that covers the socket for the cable release on the ZX-M and related bodies?
Just realized that mine turned up missing. At first glance, it doesn't seem very important -- the cap itself doesn't make a tight seal, meaning the only purpose it could serve would be to protect the contact pins from physical damage, and the pins are recessed, making such damage unlikely. Suppose it could also serve to protect the inner electronics from electrostatic discharge.
I'm mostly inclined to believe it's a cosmetic thing, in which case I'll get along well enough without it.
