•An In-Line Hub and Control unit is provided so that the flash unit may be
easily retrofitted to existing Zoom Cameras.

6. Setup and Operation
6.1. Flash Camera Setup (24Z704USB-F)
6.1.1. Attaching the Illuminator on top of Flash Camera
The illuminator is shipped with a mounting foot which is attached to the top of the camera using 2 screws,
as shown in the illustration below.
Attaching the LED illuminator
to the 24Z704 Camera
Flash Unit Mounted on Camera. Note the intensity
control on the side of the flash unit.
Conversely, the LED flash unit may be attached to the camera using the Small Velcro™ pads provided.
With the foot attached to the camera, the illuminator simply snaps into place.
6.1.2. Wiring and Power
The Led Illuminator is provided with an In-Line Control unit that provides both power and control to the
flash and also replaces the existing USB connection to the Zoom camera module, as shown in Figure 3.
Connect the in-line Hub to the camera, flash and PC as shown, and connect the 12DC power to the rear of
the camera.

6.1.3. Subject Distance
For best results, the subject should be placed at a distance of not less than 6 feet from the camera. This
will provide uniform, glare free illumination from the flash.
6.1.4. Flash Intensity
The brightness of the LED flash can be adjusted using the small thumb wheel on the side of the flash unit.
Turning the wheel from front to back will reduce the light intensity.
