I've recently bought my first LF camera and been getting to grips with it. I think I understand almost everything (there's not much to get confused about), but one bit has got me stumped. I'm sure it's not important, but it's bugging me that I don't know what it is...

As you can see from the pictures, it's a thread that comes out of the front standard with a plastic knob that screws onto it. The bolt is slightly smaller than the small type of tripod bolt.
I know this is probably a stupid question, but what is it for? Flash? Darkcloth? Something to do with the lens?
