06.3 MOUNTING ON THE CAMERA/LENS
06.3.1 CONTROL UNIT
Slide the hot shoe adapter of the control unit (9) on to your cameras hot
shoe and screw the locking screw down. If your camera does not boast of a
hot shoe, you can use an optional accessory rail to mount the unit.
06.3.2 LED RING LIGHT
To mount the LED ring light (1), first mount an adapter ring (11) that suits
with the filter mount of your lens. Slide the LED ring light with its rear side
onto the adapter ring until it clicks closed. The ring light is now firmly at-
tached to your lens; however, it can still be levelled by turning it. Choose
the desired diffuser (13+14), and place the connectors over the ring light
brackets. Turn the diffuser (13+14) clockwise until secured.

2. Turn the ring light on by moving the main switch (8) to position BATT

07.2 CAMERA SETTINGS

•
shots.

In order to avoid blurred images, we recommend the use of a tripod.
