There are two types of FD mounts
FD/FL Breech-Mount (with a silver ring, you need to rotate the silver ring when attachment and removal), breech-lock mounts are identified by the silver ring
New-FD Bayonet Mount, bayonet mounts are identified by a red dot next to the lens release button

Here are the steps to install breech-mount version

1. Set your lens to smallest except for auto(bayonet mount only)
2. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the OPEN side
3. Line up the red dot with your lens and adapter ring(if yours is bayonet mount, just turn the adapter ring towards clockwise direction to make lens and adapter tight,then ignore the 4th step)
4. Turn your lens ring towards counterclockwise direction to make the adapter ring tight with your lens
5. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the LOCK side to engage the aperture closing pin

Operating the adapter

1. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the adapter; on your lens, set the aperture to the smallest opening and use the adapter ring
2. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the lens; place the adapter ring on the small aperture(Lock place) and control the aperture on the lens

1. Q1: Camera shutter does not release when lens is attached
   A：The lens is fully manual and does not have electrical contacts. Please switch your camera to "M" (manual) mode
2. Q2: Images are too dark
   A：Lower the f-stop on the lens, and/or lower shutter speed, and/or raise ISO settings on camera
3. Q3: Images are too bright
   A：Raise the f-stop on the lens, and/or raise shutter speed, and/or raise ISO settings on camera
4. Q4: Images are not coming out in focus
   A：a) Adjust the focusing distance on the lens to the correct distance.
   b) In certain photographic situations, you may find it easier to focus at f/5.6-8 rather than f/3.5

1. Adapting APS-frame lens to full-frame camera, it may generate vignetting, some cameras could correct it by adjust APSC, please contact us and provide your lens&camera model to check the way to correct it.
2. Adapting full-frame lens to APS-frame camera (i.e: large format to medium format, medium format to 35mm, 35mm to micro 4/3) provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness. The smaller image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration by using the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle. and it will magnify the focal length by 1.6 on Canon, 1.5 on Nikon and Sony，2.0 on M4/3 camera.

1. As Canon’s EOS lenses are electronically controlled，most Canon EF mount lenses do not feature a manual aperture ring，so when used on our EOS-M4/3, which is a full manual operation adapter ring, the aperture could not be transferred to the camera, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default.
2. Some buyer mentioned could not adjust the aperture, actually this is because your lens does not have the aperture control function, If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default
3. You could set your aperture via this way, but we do not suggest to use this way: You can control the f-stop by putting the lens on an EOS body, stop it down using the DOF preview button, and while holding the button down taking the lens off the camera. You can then transfer the lens to the M4/3 camera, and it will retain the f-stop.
