Recently developed CHSC provide many benefits for the "G" and other cameras including EOS series. Below is the list of most obvious ones:
- Contacts protection. Due to exact tolerances the CHSC seals the contacts from dust and moisture, the main contributors to corrosive effect of elements.
- Hot Shoe frame protection from bending in the event of abrupt contact with solid object.
- Snagging prevention, when the camera is pulled out from pocket or pouch.
- Enhancement of "finished", more streamlined look of the camera.
CHSC is precision machined from black Delrin, dense material from nylon family, known for it's wear resistance due to natural lubricity and used in many applications as a metal substitute, for example, in round and linear bearings. Delrin has very low conductivity. Due to the specific properties it was chosen as ideal material for the application.
The cover is specifically designed to not to disable build in camera flash, when inserted, making it unique in the HSC world. Three types of CHSC are currently available:
- With "G" logo - dedicated to Powershot G series.
- Without logo - for other Canon cameras.
- With "S" logo, specifically designed for Powershot S5IS.
Note: S5IS micro switch deactivating onboard flash is located on the opposite side of the rail. When ordering, please, specify the designation of the camera
