Instruccions de funcionament

Manual Control Overview

The Manual Adapter 2 enables you to manually set both the shutter speed and lens aperture on your OM101 or OM88 camera. This bypasses the camera's automatic exposure modes, giving you full creative control.

Setting Shutter Speed

Refer to your camera's specific manual for instructions on how to manually set the shutter speed. The adapter facilitates this manual operation by allowing the camera to accept external input for exposure settings.

Setting Lens Aperture

The lens aperture is typically controlled directly on the lens itself via an aperture ring. Ensure your lens has a manual aperture ring for this functionality. The adapter allows the camera to register the aperture set on the lens.

Mesura de l'exposició

When using the Manual Adapter 2, the camera's built-in light meter may still provide readings, but you will need to adjust shutter speed and aperture manually based on these readings to achieve correct exposure. It is recommended to use an external light meter or practice with film to understand exposure settings.

Manteniment

• Clean the adapter regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• Eviteu utilitzar productes químics o materials abrasius.
• Store the adapter in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
• Inspect the contacts and mounting surfaces periodically for any dust or debris that could affect connection.
