NOTES:
TTL Flash is NOT available when camera is in “M” Manual mode. There
is no TTL flash even with Canon's own flash in the camera "M" mode.
Manual power settings can be selected with the multi-control button on
the back of the camera. The strobe should still be left in TTL to take
advantage of this feature.
Leave the housing hotshoe disconnected when using an EV Manual
Controller. If using an EV controller in “M” Manual mode, set the EV
controller to “non-Pre-flash.” Please read page 26 for additional
information when using an EV Manual Controller.
When multiple exposure (continuous shooting) mode is used, the
external flash will not fire. This is normal and also happens with Canon
external speedlights.

battery.

1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls
out of the way for installation of the camera.
2. Remove the back from the housing.
3. Remove camera lanyard from camera if attached.
4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
5. Slide the housing Hotshoe Connector into the Camera Hotshoe Mount

should be done before the camera is secured with the mounting bolt
- page 10, diagram B.
Note: If you are using an EV Controller or slave strobe and NOT hardwiring
your strobes directly to the housing, leave the housing hotshoe
disconnected from the camera. You will also need to install the Flash
Deflector (supplied) into the external port groove to block and deflect the
camera flash to the EV controller - page 13.

Mounting Bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket - page 10,
