FAQs
Will my camera's autofocus work with this adapter?
No, this adapter is manual-only. It does not transmit electronic signals between the lens and the camera, so autofocus and auto-exposure features are not supported.
How do I set the exposure when using this adapter?
You will need to set your camera to manual exposure mode (M). Set the desired aperture directly on the lens. Then, adjust your camera's shutter speed and ISO to achieve the correct exposure.
Can I control the aperture of the lens with this adapter?
Yes, you can control the aperture directly on the lens itself, assuming your Olympus OM mount lens has an aperture ring.
What cameras is this adapter compatible with?
This adapter is designed for Canon RF mount cameras, such as the Canon EOS R series, EOS RP, etc.
Are there any Olympus OM lenses that won't work with this adapter?
The adapter should work with all standard Olympus OM mount lenses. However, lenses that rely heavily on electronic communication for basic functions might not be fully usable.
Does the adapter have glass elements?
No, this is a purely mechanical adapter and does not contain any optical elements or glass.
How do I clean the adapter?
Gently wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid touching internal parts or any potential optical surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Adapter does not securely attach to the camera.
Ensure no debris is present on the camera's RF mount or the adapter's Canon RF mount side. Realign mounting indexes and try attaching again with gentle pressure.
Lens does not securely attach to the adapter.
Check for obstructions on the lens's OM mount or the adapter's OM mount side. Ensure the lens is aligned correctly with the adapter's mounting index before rotating.
