Troubleshooting

Adapter does not attach securely to the camera.

Ensure there is no dust or debris on the camera mount or adapter mount. Realign the mounting marks and try again, applying gentle, even pressure.

Lens does not mount onto the adapter.

Verify that the lens is a Canon FD mount lens. Check for any obstructions on the lens mount or the adapter's lens side. Ensure the lens is rotated correctly to the lock position.

Light leaks are present.

Focus is difficult to achieve.

Practice using manual focus. Utilize your camera's focus aids, such as focus peaking or magnification, if available. Ensure the adapter is correctly seated for optimal infinity focus.
