Is there a connecting cord available that will allow you to use this flash unit off camera?

No. There is no connecting cord availability. It can only be used in the hot shoe of the camera.

You can use any flash extension cord that is made for Canon cameras, as the location of the contacts is the same for Canon as it is for Panasonic. An extension cord has no electronics so it will work with any camera that has the same contact locations. My Canon flash extension cord worked fine. A Nikon cord will not work, as the contact locations are different.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash. Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure. Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works..... I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

Yes, it's the cord you see at the top of the picture of the product and connects to the listed flashes.

Yes I placed it on the plastic stand that comes with the unit and took a shot (with my built-in flash turned on) facing away from the unit and it worked. I think the unit can pick up the flash from the camera as light bounces off walls which will fire the off camera flash.

Yes I was able to do this by buying a cord online with the appropriate sized ends....found one on amazon.Wired the flash out up to the camera trigger in....then every time I shot with hand held camera the remote cameras fired too.

This flash has to be attached to standard connector port on top of the camera.

Yes, you need to get a TTL cable if you want automatic flash metering. It will also work off camera manually with any wireless flash trigger or with line of sight using the built in optical slave mode.

Unfortunately the connecting cord is called a "connecting cord." Would suggest taking it to a place like Radio Shack. The pins on the end have two black lines (which indicate size in the electronic world.) The camera and receiver are the same size, so taking one or the other to match up should do it. Hope this helps. Sorry you are in a fix.

No, it has to be connected to the camera by the supplied cord. The hot shoe slide keeps pressure off the cord and camera connection which would occur if the receiver dangles by the cord. I have used it several time both in and out of the hot shoe. When I want to use an on camera flash, I tape the receiver to my tripod using Gaffers tape. This tape leaves essentially no residue, unlike masking or duct tape. I got a huge roll of Gaffers tape for less than $10 at Amazon. It will last me for at least a couple years and is well worth the minimal cost.

Yes, but it is not obvious. On the holder on the ring, at the rear of the holder, below a small camera type shoe mount, push the toggle down and slide the flash out of the shoe. The electric cable only gives you about 18 inches from the ring's power supply. The flash units have individual 1/4 inch standard camera receptacles on the bottom, so they can be positioned on appropriate tripods or other 1/4 inch platforms for precise close in work. And the unit takes 4 AA batteries. Good in a way (cheap, reliable), but you have to remember to replace them before they go bad and corrode the inside of the battery case. I try to replace all sleeping batteries every spring and fall equinox. Yes, but it is not obvious.

the slave is in the camera settings. Remote flash. Not hard to find if your camera has this option. C

I don't know that camera but if it supports wireless flash and so does your flash then no otherwise you will need a cord.

I still own this camera but seldom use it. The camera I have came with a dock that hooked to my computer. I have never hooked a USB cord directly to the camera. I am sure it is possible. I usually just turn off a camera these days and remove the SD card and put it into my computer. Just easier and I don't need all the cords and such. This is a great camera and the coating on the lens is one of the best I have ever had.

The chord attaches to the camera the same as a flash would. One end (the larger with the rotating lock) on the camera and the other (the smaller) on the flash. Thus the flash is connected to the camera by the cord but can be moved anywhere, within the length of the cord, that the photographer chooses. It is simply a physical electrical connection between the camera and the flash which allows the flash to be moved off camera.

You are going to need either a cord http://www.amazon.com/Canon-OC-E3-Camera-Shoe-Cord/dp/B000OEP3F4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1370724162&sr=8-5&keywords=canon+external+flash+cord or a wireless solution. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/YONGNUO-RF-602-2-4GHz-Wireless-Trigger/dp/B003ARRAA8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370724230&sr=1-4&keywords=yongnuo+canon+trigger I got both. Both do the job. Cord is a bit more reliable because wireless might get interference once in a while.

There is an AV connector cable. There is no USB cable. But they supply you with USB converter for the camera SD card.
