Ken, I have used the Sunpak CA-1AF module with the 444D flash on my Elan for years. It works great with my camera, but I don't know if all of the functionality of the Elan 7 is supported. The connector on the side is for an additional battery which is needed for certain flash model/camera combinations. You shouldn't need it for your setup.
The manuals from Sunpak are pretty bad. The 444D has a mode switch on the back with five positions - one manual postion, three auto positions which use the built-in sensor on the module, and one auto-TTL position (blue circle). To use the camera TTL functions set the mode switch to the blue circle position and the power level switch to full power. The flash should respond normally as would a regular Canon flash for the options provided on the flash. The module supports the other operating modes as well, but doesn't communicate with the camera. Hope this helps.

I just bought one 2nd hand, and have no manual. I'll be experimenting, but I'm curious if it responds to the AF assist CF's like a Canon flash would, and also what the 4-pin connector on the side is for. Is there an online manual? I checked the Sunpak site, and nothing there. I'm using it with a Sunpak 555, on an Elan 7.
