I have tried the same but with a Nikon SB 910 (latest flash from Nikon). It just doesn't work. in fact, mounting the flash gun on the hot shoe in manual mode causes the H5D with a lock-up and error message. the only way is in manual mode and not on the hot shoe by using a flash cable, flash held by hand or on a flash stand, flash rail etc.

Hueto, using Metz Mecablitz units which are compatible to the SCA3002 adapter system should work properly with your H5D40 when attached via the SCA3902 adapter. See the compatibility tables/info on the Metz website.

You should never put any other incompatible TTL flash unit on the camera's hot shoe unless you want to take the risk of frying your camera electronics. If you want to use e.g. your Canon flash unit, connect it via the standard flash cable/connector on the side of the camera or use wireless trigger units (e.g. PocketWizzard Plus unit on the camera) in manual mode.
