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. 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.
