david strachan Posted December 20, 2014 Share #21 Posted December 20, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's always been a fault with the M digital cameras...all of them. No separate flash output; only through the hot shoe which you might be using for a viewfinder:/ cheers Dave S Everyone has suggested options which require use of the hotshoe...I'm wondering about leaving the hot shoe empty for a viewfinder. cheers Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Hi david strachan, Take a look here Studio flash via pc cord m240. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Exodies Posted December 21, 2014 Share #22 Posted December 21, 2014 Not every suggestion uses the hot shoe: I do not mess about with cords. I use my M240 with MF grip and SCA adapter to which I use the PWIII. Works without a hitch and you are free to move about as you wish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppyman Posted December 21, 2014 Share #24 Posted December 21, 2014 And for clarity since there are three topics in one here, if you want to connect a studio or other flash unit here with simple triggering and no TTL functions, and not use the hotshoe, you need the multi function grip which has both an SCA socket and a conventional PC cord socket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi function grips are not available for the M8...unfortunately cheers Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted December 21, 2014 Share #26 Posted December 21, 2014 Hi David, then your only solution is still to buy the multifunction grip......and an M (typ 240). But to be more serious I think you just need to accept using the hotshoe for when you want to use flash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
