Fotodiox Pro Fusion Smart Adapter Compatible with Canon EOS EF/EF-s Lenses to Select Sony Alpha E-Mount Mirrorless Camera Body
Sometimes you need more than a simple adapter to mount a lens onto a camera - you need real power. Seize control over the electronic features of your lenses with FUSION lens adapters. Technology built into each adapter enables communication between mixed lens and camera platforms. FUSION adapters enable auto focus, aperture control, image stabilization, and more patibility Functions best with the following cameras that have “Phase Detection Auto Focusâ€: Sony Alpha a6300, a6500, a7 II, a7R II, a9 Note Always test your gear with the adapter before a critical shoot. This product is not firmware upgradable. Weight capacity of tripod foot: 5 Pounds (2. 26 Kilograms). Supports Canon branded lenses made after 2006. Autofocus may be disabled for older Canon lenses as well as most third-party lenses. Not all functions are supported when in video mode and may cause camera to freeze and lens iris to cause white flashing in video. Continuous AF and video AF are not supported as performance may be unsatisfactory. The first two auto focus attempts are used to calibrate the lens and as a result may not lock successfully on the target. Half-press the shutter release button again and autofocus will lock successfully. Autofocus may have difficultly locking onto subjects which are very close to the nearest focusing distance of the lens. Autofocus accuracy depends heavily on the design and working condition of the lens. Lenses with hidden problems which may not be apparent on Canon DSLRs will lead to inaccurate and unreliable autofocus on Sony E-Mount cameras. Typical problems of this kind that we have seen include a rough/erratic autofocus mechanism (e. g. getting stuck intermittently at a certain focusing distance), a faulty/worn-out distance encoder or other faulty/worn-out internal sensors. By default Sony cameras have 1/3 stops, however F1. 2 is a half stop, so when that lens is wide open, F1. 3 is displayed even though you’re actually shooting at F1. 2, but if you really need the metadata and camera it to say 1. 2 instead, you can set the camera to do so by setting the EV dial on the camera to zero, then change this setting: Menu > Camera Settings > Exposure Step > 0. 5 EV. We don't want to scare you off from using this model of the FUSION adapter, often there are no problems with using the adapter; but every now and again you may come across one of the above issues. Hopefully knowing and understanding what the product does and what some of the possible drawbacks are before using the adapter will make it a more enjoyable experience from the start.
