Aputure AL-M9 Amaran LED light

The LED light can be used as an on-camera or remote light source. Use the switch on the
side to turn on the light, and adjust the brightness with the + and − buttons.

Camera mount

If not being used in conjunction with the microphone, the light can be mounted on the
camera using the cold shoe mount.

Open the shoe mount cover on the top of the camera: pull up on the right side of the

1.

plate and make sure the flap lies fully open to the left.

Slide the holder, found in the light's case, into the shoe mount. Tighten the black

2.

plastic dial to secure the mount (take care not to tighten it more than necessary, as

it will run into the flap and could damage the hinge).

Orient the holder with the metal screw facing toward you and tighten the smaller

3.

black plastic dial to secure the holder position.

Place the light into the holder and tighten the metal screw to secure it.

Filters

The light comes with three filters which can be used to adjust the light qualities as desired.
To use one of these filters, remove the white plastic from the front of the light (it is held by
magnets; simply pull to remove it). Align the filter in front of the LEDs, then replace the
white plastic.

Charging

To charge the battery, use the USB cord supplied in the light case. Plug it in either to a
computer or a USB wall adapter, such as the one included for charging the camera.
