Attaching the Flash Connection for External Strobes

When using an external
strobe, connect the housing
hotshoe connector. Slide
the connector into the
hotshoe mount on the
camera from the back of
the camera as shown.
Slide the connector forward
until it stops. Make sure the
hotshoe is all the way
forward in the camera
mount to assure a good
connection. Due to limited
clearance between the
camera hotshoe mount and
the housing back, the hotshoe connector should be attached before the
camera is secured with the mounting bolt, but can be attached afterward.
