    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.

    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.

    Looking down to the top of the camera, turning the ring right tells the camera to stopping down, and vice versa. Each step equals to 1/3 EV. When it is turned to the smallest aperture position, one more step brings it to the A (Auto mode) under which the aperture will be decided by the camera (P or S mode).

    and success rate may decrease. On cameras with PDAF, e.g., GFX100 and GFX100S, the size of the focus points may affect AF performance. If AF success rate or accuracy issues are encountered, you may try different AF point size settings. Usually, the smaller focus point setting may bring more accuracy. But it may need more lights and details in the small area covered by the focus point to work, or the success rate may become poorer.

    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.
