Step 10Align the screw for you camera
You need to set the screw in the right orientation so that the LED lights will point forward when you screw the light onto your camera.
Each camera is a bit different so you'll want to make this adjustment to the camera you plan to use. When you are done the light will be able to twist on and off of the camera with ease, and without the need of a separate knob. You simply turn the light body.
The video is probably the easiest way to explain this part.
Sorry for the ironically dimly lit video.
Here is how you do it.
Screw the light onto the camera but stop short before it aligns with the front face of your camera. If you pushed the screw down tightly in the previous step the screw should follow the motion of the main body and not slip.
Hold the camera and light tightly so that the main body of the light cannot move. Using a philips head screw driver tighten the screw into the camera until it is hand tight.
Now rotate only the light body until the front faces of the light and camera are parallel. Keep an eye on the screw head, it should not be rotating with the main body. If it is rotating it means you have not tightened it enough. If the main body cannot be moved at all then it means the screw was tightened too much.
If this worked out you should be able to rotate the battery holder to unscrew the light and the screw should rotate with the battery holder and the whole thing can come off in one piece.
This method worked well for me without any glue. but feel free to apply some hot glue if you like.
Slide the battery door closed and screw the LED camera light onto your camera. You should feel the camera light get tighter as you approach the final orientation. The installation and alignment are now complete. If you try mounting it to a different camera you may find you need to readjust the screw. This can sometimes be done by simply forcing the camera light to rotate until its aligned again. Or you can use a screwdriver and repeat the procedure above.
