FAQs

What is the main benefit of using the OM SYSTEM MC 20?

The primary benefit is doubling the focal length of your compatible lens, providing significantly more telephoto reach for distant subjects and telephoto macro photography.

How much light does the MC 20 reduce?

It reduces the light by two stops. For example, an f/2.8 lens will perform at f/5.6 with the teleconverter attached.

Will the MC 20 work with any lens?

No, the MC 20 is designed for specific OM SYSTEM and compatible lenses. Always refer to the official compatibility list.

Does it affect autofocus speed?

Yes, attaching a teleconverter generally slows down autofocus speed because the lens has to work harder to focus. This effect is more noticeable in lower light conditions.

Can I use it for macro photography?

Yes, the MC 20 offers excellent telephoto macro performance, allowing you to capture small subjects from a greater distance.

Is the MC 20 weatherproof?

Yes, it features a slim, weatherproof body designed to withstand dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions.

How do I clean the MC 20's optical elements?

Use a blower brush to remove loose dust, then gently wipe the lens with a clean microfiber lens cloth. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers.

Troubleshooting

Autofocus is slow or hunting

Ensure you are in good lighting conditions. Consider switching to a single AF point or manual focus if autofocus struggles. Check that your lens and camera firmware are up to date.

Image quality appears soft

Verify that the teleconverter is securely attached to both the lens and camera. Ensure the lens itself is capable of resolving high detail at the extended focal length. Clean the optical elements.

Error message when attaching

Confirm that your lens is on the official compatibility list for the MC 20. Ensure all electrical contacts are clean on the converter, lens, and camera.
