Installing the Camera

out of the way for installation of the camera.
2. Remove the back from the housing.

4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
5.
Attach Hotshoe to Camera
by sliding the housing Hotshoe Connector
into the Camera Hotshoe Mount, diagram A, page 10. Slide the
connector forward until it stops. This must be done

It is ok to leave the housing hotshoe connected to the camera even when
the External Strobe Connector is not being used.

Attach Camera to Mounting Tray
by using a coin or screwdriver
(preferred). Secure the camera with the Tray Mounting Bolt which
threads into the camera’s tripod socket, diagram B, page 10.
