SAFETY HINTS FOR BATTERIES/ACCUMULATORS

Only use high-quality batteries/accumulators of popular brands. When in- serting the batteries/accumulators, please respect the correct polarity (+/-). Do not insert batteries of different types and always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not combine used batteries with fresh batteries. Please remove batteries/accumulators when device is not in use for a long period of time. Do not throw the batteries/accumulators into fire, do not short-circuit and do not disassemble them! Never charge non-rechargeable bat-teries – risk of explosion! Remove empty batteries immediately from the device to avoid the leaking of battery acid. Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. Clean the contacts before inserting fresh batteries. Risk of battery acid burn! In case of contact with battery acid, rinse the affected area immediately with water and contact a doctor. Batteries can be dangerous to life if swallowed. Keep batteries/accumulators away from small children and pets. Do not dispose of batteries in household waste (see also chapter “Disposal of Batteries/Accumulators”).

INSTALLATION

INSERTING THE BATTERIES
Open the battery compartment lid (10a) by sliding it into the direction of the arrow. Insert 6 Mignon AA batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type (optional) into the battery compartment (10b). Respect the cor-rect plus/minus polarity.
Close the battery compartment lid (10a) by sliding it against the direction of the arrow.
Note Because of the high performance we recommend to use rechar-geable batteries.

ATTACHMENT OF THE BATTERY BOX TO THE CONTROL UNIT Place the battery box (10) on the control unit (1) as shown on the sketch. Press the battery box downwards, until it clicks into place and slide the battery box towards the battery contacts (10c).
For detachment of the battery box, press the release button (3) and slide the battery box backwards.

ALTERNATIVE OPERATION WITH LI-ION BATTERY
Alternatively, a Li-Ion battery type Sony NP-F550/NP-750/NP-F970 (op-tional) can be used instead of the battery box. This will increase the opera-tion time and improves the cost-effectiveness.
Replace Sony NP-F550/NP-750/NP-F970 batteries are optionally available from DÖRR.

MOUNTING

MOUNTING THE RING LIGHT ON THE LENS
First, screw the correct adapter ring (11) onto your lens. Press the release buttons (6) while mounting the lens with the adapter ring to the lens mount (7). In order to remove the ring light, press the release buttons (6) again.

MOUNTING THE CONTROL UNIT ON THE CAMERA
Before mounting the control unit (1), make sure the main switch (2) is on position OFF. Slide the flash shoe of the control unit (5) carefully onto the camera’s hot shoe. In order to ensure a firm hold and tighten the locking screw (5a) clockwise.
Alternatively, the control unit can also be mounted off the camera on a tripod, using the incorporated ¼” tripod socket (5b).

 TAKING PICTURES WITH THE LED RING LIGHT

Switch your camera on after having mounted the ring light. Move the ring light’s main switch (2) to position ON.
We recommend to take pictures in aperture priority mode (A/Av) or ma-nual mode (M), so you can select the desired aperture and the depth of sharpness manually.
Depending on the object, the ambient light and the desired depth of sharp- ness, the light intensity can be variably adjusted from 20% to 100% using the brightness control (4).
For a three dimensional illustration with lateral shadow, the ring light can also be positioned above or aside the lens. For attachment on a tripod, the ring light boasts of a ¼” tripod socket (8) at the bottom. For an optimum direction, use the supplied ball head (9).
After usage, set the main switch (2) to position OFF.
