Troubleshooting
Adapter won't attach to camera
Ensure there are no obstructions on the camera mount or adapter. Check that the camera is not already in use with another lens or accessory. Gently rotate the adapter while aligning the mount marks.
Image is blurry
Ensure the lens is correctly mounted to the adapter and the adapter to the camera. Manually focus carefully using your camera's live view or focus aids. Check that you are shooting at an appropriate aperture for your desired depth of field.
Light leaks visible in photos
Check that the adapter is securely attached to both the camera and the lens. Ensure the adapter's internal surfaces are clean and free from debris. If persistent, the adapter's seal may be compromised.
Camera doesn't recognize the lens (though manual operation is fine)
This is expected behavior as the adapter does not support electronic communication. You will need to manually set your camera to a shooting mode that allows for manual lens input (e.g., 'M' mode) and potentially adjust settings like 'Shoot without lens'.
