Update:
The multiterminal jack has both the 10 pin connections that James posted above, and also a set of 5 pin connections for the USB data transfer and charging (the more easily visible part of the multiterminal port on the camera). See the attached picture of a shutter release cable that I tore apart.
The included USB cable that came with the camera has a short connector, only providing the 5 pin part (which is the shallower part of the multiterminal port on the camera). The shutter release cable connector is longer, providing both the 10 pin connections and the 5 pin connections. The 10 pin portion goes deeper into the multiterminal port, thus the connector is longer.
So I believe this is good news. The triggering functions seem to be separate from the data transfer functions. I'm waiting on a couple multiterminal-to-USB cables to come in so I can tear them apart and see how the wires are connected. Ideally, I'll be able to cut off the multiterminal connector and connect the wires to the 5 pin part of the shutter release cable.
More to follow!
