Where does the flash attach to the camera?

The flash attaches to the camera at the hot shoe, which is a small socket located on the top of the camera body. The hot shoe provides a secure connection for the flash unit, allowing for communication between the camera and the flash. This connection enables features such as automatic exposure control and synchronization of the flash with the camera shutter. The design of the hot shoe also facilitates a quick attachment and removal of the flash, making it convenient for photographers to switch between using built-in lighting and external flash units as needed.
