1. Precautions when using this adapter

z

Attaching this adapter to a lens does not affect lens performance.

z

Use the switches on the lens to set lens functions. In the event that 

the settings found in the camera’s menu differ from those found on 

the lens, priority is given to the settings found on the lens.

When using a lens that is heavier than the camera, be sure to hold 

the lens while carrying the camera and while shooting.

Since a lens’ minimum focusing distance is lengthened when this 

adapter is attached, maximum magnification and field of view might 

change.
