I was testing it on camera by placing it all the way in on the hot shoe but it seems like the light is not compatible with the camera. The camera still thinks there is no flash attached. I heard there is a way to connect a 3rd party flash to the camera while it is in the hot shoe and I was hoping for some guidance.<BR /><BR />Thank you!
