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.
