1Loosen the locking collar by turning it as shown by the arrow.

2 Slip the Speedlite’s mounting foot into the camera’s hot shoe until it stops.

3 Turn the locking collar as shown by the arrow and tighten. (The mounting foot’s locking pin will extend into the hot shoe.)

• To detach the Speedlite, turn the locking collar in the opposite direction until it stops. (The locking pin retracts into the mounting foot.)

Although the hot shoe on the EOS 650, EOS 620, EOS 750, and EOS 850 does not have a locking pin hole, Speedlite 550EX can still be mounted on these cameras.
