Fringer EF-NZ （Model FR-NZ1）User's Manual
1. Introduction
This adapter is compatible with Canon EF/EFS mount and Nikon Z mount protocols.
It can control lens' aperture electronically, auto focus and report lens information for EXIF
recording. Most EF/EFS lenses manufactured by Canon and third parties, e.g. Sigma,
Tamron, etc., get similar phase detection AF performance to that of adapting Nikon F
mount lenses to Z mount through Nikon FTZ adapter.
Both bayonets of EF and Z mount are made of brass. The body and tripod mount are
made of alloy. All these parts are made by high precision CNC and very solid and durable.
The professional light extinction design inside the adapter will make sure the optical
performance of the lens is maximized.
A removable tripod mount is included. It's useful when medium sized lenses are used
or when the whole setup is to be installed on a gimble. But if you don't need it, you may
remove it by uninstalling the two screws under it using the L-wrench which is also
included. When you reinstall it, please be noted that don't use too much force. Or the
thread may be damaged.
There is a Micro USB plug for a firmware update purpose near the tripod mount. Read
section 4 for more details.

Page 2: Function Descriptions
This adapter works with Z mount cameras including Z6, Z7, Z50, and theoretically other Z cameras to be released in the future. If compatibility issues are found when a new Z camera comes, we may fix it through a new firmware update. Begin with firmware 1.20, the adapter is compatible with almost all EF/EFS mount lenses manufactured by Canon and major third parties except some rare cases. - Page 3 function will fail. For the latest generation of Canon IS lenses and all tele-lenses longer than 300mm, lens IS function is recommended. For all the other lenses, IBIS is preferred. When lens IS function is activated, if you power off the camera, the operation will not finish until the IS module is parked.

When this function greatly helps a lot of manual lens users, it has a drawback. The Non- CPU Lens Data menu item doesn’t work anymore.
- Page 5 Usage: When the adapter is installed on the camera and no electronic lens is installed, turn on the camera and set it in photo shooting mode. (We use a 135mm manual lens as a sample) 1) Half press and hold shutter button (or AF-ON button). Press AFL button (Center of sub-selector by default) for 3 times.

Note: Do not copy files other than the official firmware to the adapter. Troubleshooting: Some of the cables in the market are for charging only and not suitable for data transfer. Thus, if you can’t find the “FRINGER” drive when the adapter is connected to the computer, check your cable!
