Troubleshooting
Adapter does not mount securely
Ensure there are no obstructions or debris on the mounting surfaces of the adapter, lens, or camera. Realign carefully and retry mounting.
Image appears soft or out of focus
This adapter requires manual focusing. Use your camera's live view or focus aids to achieve sharp focus. Ensure the lens is focused to infinity correctly.
Light leaks detected around the mount
Ensure the adapter is fully seated and locked onto the camera mount. Check for any damage or wear on the adapter's rim or the camera's mount. Clean both surfaces.
