EOS Rebel SL3 How to connect Neewer flash

Maddisyn1222 — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 14:30:13 GMT

I have a canon sl3 and recently was gave neewer N 250W flashes. How do I connect them to my camera? I’m having a bit of trouble.

It appears that, out of the box, that flash requires a wired connection to the camera via a sync cable to a sync port on the camera. The SL3 lacks a sync port.

You may be able to find an adapter that fits in the hot shoe that will provide a port so you can use the Neewer, but that is something I know very little about.

In addition to Newton's comments, I don't think the SL3 has a center contact in the hot shoe, so I don't think an adapter would work either.

You’re correct John. There is no center contact on the hot shoe.
