Attaching My ProocamSXC67 Filter Adapter

I bought this ProocamSXC67 filter adapter a few days ago for my Canon Powershot SX530 HS. The price: about a third of Canon's FA-DC67A. A much more budget friendly alternative, that's for sure.

Now mounting it on my camera: that's proves to be a bit of a challenge. Much force is needed to twist the adapter into place, but will this cause any irreparable damage to the lens optics?

I had a look at my Canon's Powershot SX530 HS manual. Sad to say, it is of not much help.

It's a good thing though that my camera accepts similar filter adapter as the Canon Powershot SX60 HS. And it seems that I am not the only one that is having this problem.

I found this video on YouTube, followed the instruction and I got my filter adapter mounted in the end. To be honest, after two tries.

Takes a bit of force here when twisting the adapter into place I must say. In my opinion, about the equal amount of torque in taking the lid off a new unopened jam jar.

Common sense really by holding the lens housing. But why didn't I think of that. Thanks Izzy. Thanks Digital Goja.
