what is a hot shoe? I am missing the cover on the side of my D40 that covers the area where you connect the camera to a computer.

A hot shoe (referenced in my Nikon D40X user guide as the "accessory shoe [for optional flash unit]"is a bracket on the camera body (located above and behind the camera's built-in flash) that provides support and electrical contact for an electronic flash attachment. My camera came with a plastic "shoe cover" that slides into the grooves in the bracket to protect the "hot/accessory shoe" from damage when an optional flash unit is not attached.

A hot shoe is the bracket-like thing on the top of the camera where you can put a flash attachment. Since the hot is called "hot" because there are contacts there that can become fouled, there is a small cover supplied with each camera that will cover the contacts when a flash is not in use. Of course we all lose that little thing about three microseconds after we open up a new camera.

This is an update to my previous response. The D40 camera's missing cover is called the "connector cover", as referenced on several pages of my Nikon D40X user manual.

hot shoe is where you connect an external flash, connections on the fitting (hot shoe) allow the camera to communicate with the flash for more accurate exposures....it has nothing to do with the cover on the side of the d40

u have to buy the hot shoe mount separately. always read customer reviews to see how well the product actually works with the camera.

Yes, I can confirm that this doesn't go into the hot shoe. It plugs into your D700 10-pin remote terminal input socket. If you refer to your D700 parts illustration on page 4, it's part #7. Hope that helps. Bernard

It is only a light. Will fit any standard hot shoe. Some Sony hot shoes are smaller than standard.

It has what is called a "mini advanced shoe". It isn't the same size as a hot shoe on a DSLR, but it allows for adding some nice accessories. If you go to the Canon website and find the manual, go to page 229. It shows some of the accessories you can add.

It is not a hot shoe. It is a cold shoe. This does not connect directly to the camera in any way in order to fire the flash. It is made from hard plastic modeled after the better metal version. The thumbscrew that tight the flash base gripper screws into plastic and strips out after the first few times you use it. Avoid getting this and by the metal one.

As I recently bought the A58 I also need an adapter for the new standard hot shoe, but I will have it until the next week, I also hope it will work really well as did with my old A55. I'll update my answer then if you're interested. Happy Christmas!

The hot-shoe size is standard across all cameras. Any hot-shoe cover fits any camera, regardless of line, year, model or brand

Yes, it has a hot shoe for flash units and includes a small flash that you attach via the hot shoe.

what you mean with how is this?? if you meant if fits.. I am not sure but I think that hot shoes for canon are pretty standards... beyond that functions the same.

It can work without the hot shoe. That is how I use it with my Rebel T3i. I just hang it from a carabiner on my backpack. Make sure your time stamp is correct with GMT and then the pictures will sync by the time stamp using the included software. Fiddly but it works.

Well... it will not "fit" directly on the camera... it will fit a "hot shoe" flash unit placed on this camera...

You're right - the receiver is normally mounted on top of the camera. However, it doesn't actually need the hot shoe, you just need it wired in at the side. I tend to just hang it over the top of the camera, at the shutter side. It isn't tidy, but it does the job exactly as I want it!

yes it does. it's located on the top of the camera next to the hot shoe. You can also plug in an external mic into the terminal on the side of the camera. Great camera. Takes great pictures. I'm very happy with mine.

Cesar, I think that's the other way around? That adapter allows you to put some hot shoe unit (light) on top of your video camera. I have a DM-100 and want to use it on my Canon 5D2 DSLR.

Sadly, yes. When mounted to the camera on the hot shoe, it covers the pop up flash completely, preventing operation of the flash. However, the receiver does not need to be mounted on the camera. It can be mounted to the tripod.

Edwin,It might attach to the hot shoe or to a bracket on the bottom of the camera. But it will attach to your camera in any situation.
