3.3 Important Camera Settings

Since this adapter does not have electronic contacts, your camera will not detect a lens. You must enable the 'Shoot Without Lens' or 'Release Shutter Without Lens' setting in your camera's menu. Refer to your camera's instruction manual for the exact location of this setting.

Exposure and focus will need to be adjusted manually on the lens and camera. The camera's metering system will still function, allowing for aperture-priority or manual exposure modes.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the adapter and lens are mounted, you will operate your camera in manual mode or aperture-priority mode. All adjustments for aperture and focus will be made directly on the Rollei QBM lens.

• Focusing: Rotate the focus ring on your Rollei QBM lens until your subject is sharp. Utilize your camera's focus peaking or magnification assist features for precise manual focusing.
• Aperture Control: Adjust the aperture ring on your Rollei QBM lens to control the depth of field and exposure.
• Exposure: In aperture-priority mode, the camera will automatically set the shutter speed based on the aperture you select and the available light. In manual mode, you will set both aperture and shutter speed.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fotasy adapter:

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior.
• Avoid touching the mounting surfaces to prevent grease or dirt transfer.
• Store the adapter in a dry, cool place when not in use, preferably with front and rear caps attached to prevent dust accumulation.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your adapter, consider the following:

• Camera not taking pictures: Ensure the 'Shoot Without Lens' setting is enabled in your camera's menu.
• Difficulty focusing to infinity: While the adapter guarantees infinity focus, slight variations in manufacturing tolerances can sometimes occur. Ensure the lens is securely mounted and that you are using your camera's focus assist features.
• Lens feels loose on adapter: Double-check that the lens is fully rotated and locked into place on the adapter.
• Adapter feels loose on camera: Ensure the adapter is fully rotated and locked into place on the camera body.
