3. Notkunarleiðbeiningar

The OM SYSTEM OLYMPUS MF-2 adapter facilitates a mechanical connection only. Electronic communication between the lens and camera is not supported. Therefore, specific operational considerations apply:

• Manual Focusing Only: Autofocus functionality will not be available. All focusing must be performed manually using the focus ring on the OM system lens.
• Manual or Aperture Priority Shooting Modes: The camera should be set to either Manual (M) or Aperture Priority (A) shooting mode. Program (P) and Shutter Priority (S) modes may not function correctly due to the lack of electronic aperture control.
• "Stop-down" Metering: Accurate exposure requires "stop-down" metering. This means you must manually set the desired aperture on the OM lens's aperture ring áður metering for exposure. The camera will then meter the light passing through the lens at the selected aperture.
• Manual Aperture Adjustment: The aperture must be adjusted directly on the OM lens's aperture ring. The camera body will not be able to control the lens aperture.

Familiarize yourself with your camera's manual focusing aids, such as focus peaking or magnification, to achieve precise focus with OM system lenses.

4. Viðhald og umönnun

Proper care of your MF-2 adapter will ensure its longevity and reliable performance.

• Þrif: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the exterior of the adapter. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For stubborn smudges, a slightly dampened cloth with water can be used, followed by immediate drying.

• Útsetningarvandamál: Remember that "stop-down" metering is required. Ensure you are setting the aperture on the OM lens itself before taking a meter reading or capturing an image. The camera's internal light meter will react to the light passing through the stopped-down lens.
• óskýrar myndir: Verify that you are manually focusing correctly. Utilize your camera's focus peaking or magnification features to confirm sharp focus. Also, ensure your camera is set to a suitable shutter speed to avoid motion blur, especially with longer focal length OM lenses.
• Myndavélin lýsir ekki: Some Micro Four Thirds cameras have a setting like "Shoot without lens" or "Release shutter without lens." This setting must be enabled for the camera to operate with a purely mechanical adapter like the MF-2, as the camera does not detect an electronically connected lens. Consult your camera's manual for this specific setting.
