1. Introduction

This product is compatible with Canon EF mount and Fujifilm G mount protocols. It can control
lens' aperture electronically, auto focus and report lens information for EXIF recording.
There is a built-in electronic aperture ring just like native GF lenses. And it employs contactless
sensors so that you don't need to worry about wearing problems. In addition to the electronic
aperture ring, the adapter supports more unique features including Phase Detection AF (on GFX100 &
GFX100S only, so far), IBIS, Lens IS and In-camera LaCA (Lateral Chromatic Aberration) Correction,
etc.

2. Compatibility

This adapter works on G mount cameras. However, due to capability differences of different
camera models, its performance may vary.
On cameras without PDAF support, such as GFX50s, GFX50r and GFX50s II, adapted lenses can
only work in the CDAF mode. Most of lenses on the tested and optimized lens list should work
normally in the AF-S mode. However, as many EF mount lenses are not designed for contrast AF, AF
speed may be slow. And AF accuracy may not be good, either. Meanwhile, AF-C mode is not supported.
If AF performance can't satisfy you, MF is recommended.
On cameras with PDAF support, such as GFX100 and GFX100S, tested and optimized lenses AF
much faster and more accurate. In some circumstances, the experience of using adapted lenses on
these cameras is just like using a DSLR. Thus, if you are about to purchase a new G mount camera to
use EF lenses, the 102M pixel models are highly recommended.
We have tested and optimized over 110 models of EF mount lenses. Compare to lenses not on the
list, tested and optimized ones work better in both PDAF and CDAF modes. However, the EF mount is a

It can control lens’ aperture electronically, auto focus and report lens information for EXIF recording. There is a built-in electronic aperture ring just like native GF lenses. And it employs contactless sensors so that you don’t need to worry about wearing problems.
  • Page 2 huge system and there are so many different lens models. A lot of them have not been tested and optimized, yet. Most of them would work on the adapter with a lower performance. And a small amount of them may not be compatible. If you encounter poor AF performance or compatibility issues, please wait for us to test and optimize that lens and support it in future firmware updates.
  • Page 3 more step brings it to the A (Auto mode) under which the aperture will be decided by the camera (P or S mode). Now if the ring is turned right one more step further, it will be set to C (Command mode). The aperture ring logic described above is exactly the same as native GF lenses.
  • Page 4 lights and details in the small area covered by the focus point to work, or the success rate may become poorer. In contrast, the bigger focus point setting may bring higher AF success rate. But accuracy may decrease. On cameras with PDAF, e.g., GFX100 and GFX100S, both AF-S and AF-C modes are supported. In many circumstances, AF performance is similar to that of a DSLR.
  • Page 5 Connect the adapter to a computer with the USB cable coming with the adapter. A drive named “FRINGER” appears. In the root folder there is a file named “SETTINGS.INI”. It’s in format of ordinary INI files. Do not modify it unless you know how to do that. If you want to restore it to default, just remove it.
  • Page 6 ‘FRINGER’ emerges. Open ‘VERSION.TXT’ on that drive and check current firmware version (the line begins with ‘Version:’). 5) If upgrading is needed, copy the downloaded firmware file to the drive named ‘FRINGER’. Wait for about 20 seconds. Ignore any error messages about the drive. The adapter would disconnect itself and reconnect.
