Mechanism and System for Attaching an External Flash to a Camera, and a Flash

摘要

The present invention relates to a mechanism and system for attaching an external flash to a camera, and a flash. The connection mechanism comprises: a body, a connecting foot and at least two groups of electrical contacts for touching contacts of hot shoes of at least two differing types of cameras for connecting an external flash control unit; when a flash provided with the mechanism for attaching an external flash to a camera as disclosed in the present invention is mounted on a camera, the corresponding group of electrical contacts touch each other to transmit signals. Since at least two groups of electrical contacts are provided, the flash is capable of being applied to cameras of two differing types, and further facilitating users and saving costs.
