Canon 577 G - Manual (Page 9)

(1) Bracket to Camera
1. Slide the lock button on the flash
section of the bracket to the left
and, while holding the button in,
separate the flash section from the
camera support section (Photo 1).
2. Screw the iarge tripod-type screw
into the camera support section of
the bracket to the screw thread at
one end of the groove (Photo 2).
3. Screw the tripod-type screw part­
way into the tripod socket on the
camera’s base. Before screwing it
in the rest of the way, shift the
camera support back and forth
untii the ridges across the front of
it are right up against the front of
the camera. Make sure the
camera is not sitting on top of
these ridges. Also adjust the
support sideways for the best fit.
Then finish tightening the screw
(Photo 3).
(2) Bracket to 577G’s Grip
1. With a coin or a similar object,
loosen the two large screws on the
flash section. Separate the clamp
from the rest of the section.
2. Align the index on the ciamp
with the positioning groove on the
grip and siide the clamp as far up
around the grip as you want (Photo
4).
3. Realign the flash section with the
clamp and retighten the two
screws (Photo 5). The clamp
should be positioned on the grip
so that, when assembly is com-
pieted, the flash will be facing
straight ahead, in the same direc­
tion as the lens.
(3) Flash Section to Camera
Support Section
Align the flash and camera support
sections of the bracket and push
them together (Photo 6). The lock
button on the flash section will spring
to the right when the two parts are
iocked together.
* To separate the two sections of
the bracket, siide the lock button
on the flash section to the left and
push it in. The lock button must
also be in this position for cou­
pling the two sections as above.
