To update the firmware, download the latest file from the TTArtisan website. Connect the lens rear cap (which contains a USB-C interface) to the lens, and then plug the cap into your computer via a USB cable. The lens will mount as a drive; drag and drop the firmware file onto it.
Many TTArtisan lenses are fully manual and do not communicate electronically with the camera body. You must enable the 'Release without lens' or 'Shoot without lens' setting in your camera's menu to take photos.
The M01 On-Camera Flash fits standard hot shoe mounts found on Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, Canon, and Olympus cameras. It is not compatible with cameras lacking a central hot shoe contact or specific specialized mounts like older Minolta autolock shoes.
Most standard TTArtisan lenses do not feature weather sealing or waterproof functions. It is recommended to keep them dry and store them in a moisture-controlled environment to prevent mold.
TTArtisan products typically come with a one-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. This does not cover accidental damage, impact, or water damage.
