That's odd. The PWM out should supply 7.2V needed from the backup battery (which must be hooked up), where as the digital port should be only 5V, and not sufficient to overcome the drop in the voltage regulator on the camera. Also, the servos, if plugged into the camera, should require the 7.2V to operate as well. If they are plugged into the RC, then it should still be needed.

But I guess if it works...
