>>4399007>Yeah I guess I always thought that the shoe was isolated from the cameraThey can be isolated from the main circuitry with stuff like opto-isolators, but still whatever circuitry that isolator controls may still not be able to handle the voltage. So while the rest of the camera may survive it could still kill the hotshoe.
