Yes, that is the same connector under the front of the shoe on my R10, presumably with several conductors it has “multi functions”…!

But you won’t be able to use legacy EX series speedlites without the AD-E1, which will cost you an extra $50.

I happened to have an R10 sitting on my desk when I saw some posts in this thread this afternoon. So I fetched a flash unit from my cabinet and plugged it into the hot shoe to see if it worked OK. It did. No problem. I noticed there are also some subtle changes to the flash menu.
