Camera Connection - MK Controls Lightning Bug Instruction Manual

Camera Connection

Each Lightning Bug™ purchased includes one cable for connection to your camera.
Additional and/or replacement cables are available from MK Controls, Inc.
The camera connector has a 2.5mm stereo male plug on one end, and the
appropriate connector for your camera on the other. The 2.5mm female socket is
located at the lower right on the unit. When inserting the cable, please make
sure it is fully seated for proper operation.
The camera connector is specific for the model camera you're using – please
follow manufacturer's recommendations for insertion of this connector.
When the Lightning Bug™ is powered on, it will automatically activate your
camera's meter (on cameras that support this feature). Turning the unit 'off'
automatically will release the meter. There is also a feature that allows your
meter to always remain deactivated until the shutter is tripped – please see the
'Additional Features' section for more information.
The Lightning Bug™ is designed to fit an industry standard shoe mount, and is self-
explanatory. For SONY cameras, a hotshoe adapter may be required – see our
website for full details.
WARNING – Do NOT leave the cable inserted in the Lightning Bug™ during storage – this may
damage to the connector. The Lightning Bug™ Warranty does not cover this type of damage.
