FAQs
Can I use autofocus with this adapter?
No, this is a manual adapter. Autofocus and other electronic functions are not supported.
Will my Olympus OM lenses work fully with my Micro Four Thirds camera?
Your lenses will mount and you can control focus and aperture manually. However, electronic communication features like autofocus and aperture control via the camera body are not functional.
What does 'light-sealed' mean?
It means the adapter is designed to prevent stray light from entering the camera sensor through the connection point, which is crucial for maintaining image quality.
How do I adjust the aperture of my lens?
Most Olympus OM lenses have an aperture ring directly on the lens barrel. Rotate this ring to change the aperture settings.
What is the benefit of using a manual adapter?
It allows you to use a wider variety of lenses, explore creative manual control, and often achieve unique image characteristics from older lenses that might not be available in modern autofocus lenses.
Does this adapter affect image quality?
When properly fitted and used, the adapter itself should not negatively impact image quality. It is designed for a precise fit. Image quality depends on the performance of the Olympus OM lens being used.
What is the warranty on this adapter?
This Urth adapter is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Troubleshooting
Adapter is difficult to attach/detach
Ensure there are no obstructions on the camera mount or adapter. Check alignment marks and try a gentle, firm twist. Do not force the adapter.
Camera does not recognize the lens
This is expected as the adapter is manual. Ensure focus and exposure are set manually on the lens and camera.
Light leaks around the connection
Re-mount the adapter and lens, ensuring a snug fit. Check for any debris on the mounting surfaces. The adapter is designed for a light-sealed fit.
Image appears over/underexposed
Manually adjust the aperture on the lens and shutter speed/ISO on the camera body until the exposure is correct. Use your camera's light meter.
