  • Page 2: Introduction

    1. Introduction This product is compatible with Nikon F 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 aperture motor so that it can drive aperture diaphragm of not only E lenses, but also AF, D and G lenses.

  • Page 3: Function Descriptions

    electromagnetic ones are both supported. Meanwhile, it supports auto focus on Nikon AF-S, AF-P lenses and other F mount AF lenses from major third parties. Be noted, Nikon AF/AF-D lenses can be used. But AF won’t work as there isn’t AF motor inside these lenses. MF can be used instead. For all F mount lenses that have CPU chip and successfully communicate with the adapter through lens contacts, EXIF will record lens parameters like focal length range, max aperture range, current focal length, current aperture, etc.

  • Page 4: Full Frame Or Medium Format Selection (35Mm Mode On/Off)

    3.2 Full frame or medium format selection (35mm mode on/off) F mount lenses are designed for full frame cameras. Its image circle covers a 36mm x 24mm sensor. But the dimension of the sensor of GFX cameras is about 44mm x 33mm. Thus, many F lenses can’t fully cover it at all and may cause dark corners/vignetting and distortion, etc.

    tolerance. To avoid it, you need to set the shutter speed manually so that the camera will use the same aperture setting when metering. 3.4 Setting AF modes Due to the limitation of F mount lenses who are designed for 35mm cameras, when using them on GFX cameras, there may be distortions in the edge areas that damage the performance of auto focus.

  • Page 6: Lens Built-In Vr And Camera Ibis Functions

    3.5 Lens built-in VR and camera IBIS functions This product supports both lens VR (or OS, VC) and IBIS functions. But they don’t work at the same time. You may choose between them. When the camera is powered on or entering the shooting mode from the playback mode, the VR switch on the lens decides which one is activated, lens VR or IBIS.

    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 9: Move Af To Infinity When Powering Off/Switching To Playback Mode

    Item value: 0 (default): focus bracketing menu item disabled (set the camera in adapter mode) focus bracketing menu item enabled (set the camera in native lens mode) Caution: 1) When setting focus range and begin position, don’t manually turn focus ring! Always use AF to drive focus point to the position you want.

  • Page 10: Firmware Update

    ‘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.
