Visoflex (020) - Hot plug when camera is on?

Hello! 

I like to use the Visoflex now and then on my m10. I have a habit of always switch of the camera before plugging it in and out.

Is this necessary? Could I harm any of the electronics by keeping the camera on when I plug and uplug the visoflex?

What do you guys do?

First uses, I try that hot plug Visoflex on M10, but the combo experienced some troubles like the Visoflex couldn't turn on or other flaws.

So since then I turn off M10 before plug Visoflex in, like you.

Even doing this, from time to time, some false contacts may arrive (maybe I must clean the contacts before plug in or protect those with caps when not in use).

I forget often to put the caps protection in place = bad habit.

The instructions say to turn camera off when installing or uninstalling Visoflex. I always do.

Thanks for the advice, you guys.

 

I've been fitting my Viso onto camera M-P(240), whilst on.  With no problems...but won't push my luck and will turn off first.

 

Always something new to learn on the Forum.
