old OM1 lenses + adapter +OLY-E620: How can I set manual controls (focus and exposure) on the new e620 and old OM1 lenses?
73194
I only use manual lenses with my E-620 and it works great. I use Nikon, Oly and Ziess lenses with adapters. You need to set the camera setting to MF, set the dial to M for manual controls. The E620 happily provides metering support for manual lenses regardless of Make. You would need to adjust the aperture manually on the lens and the Shutter Speed from the camera dial. Of course, you have to focus using the manual ring on the lens as well. That's it.

Dear Mr. Varlack, The product I received was exactly as described on the Amazon website. It worked as described and consistent with the reviews. I use is effectively to adapt old Nikon lenses to my Olympus EM5 micro 4/3 camera. You must set everything manually but the optics seem fine. Regards, R.Fisher

My understanding is that the OM system Zuiko and other aftermarket lenses with the OM mounts will work on the OM-D, with the following caveats:You will need an adapter sold by Olympus. Auto-focusing will not work, you must manually focus themThey will be larger and heavier than the MFT equivalent lenses because they are designed to throw a larger image area, however, this also means that there won't be any vignetting and the central image area will be used where the performance is the best.The lenses will appear to be more telephoto than when used on the original OM 35mm cameras because the sensor area is smaller than the 35mm frame so essentially you are cropping the image.

Go to www.olympusamerica.com and choose support. They have PDF's of the manual.

On the Olympus OM-D E-M1, you can go to the Custom Menu/Release/Lens I.S. Priority. Choose "ON" to turn the OIS on, or choose "OFF" to turn the OIS off. Be sure to turn off the Olympus IBIS if you turn on the lens OIS, otherwise they will "fight" each other.

Cindy, I purchased an EA1 adapter and returned it. Although it was a nicely constructed adapter it caused me to loose 1F stop from an already slow lense and it did not carry forth full auto focus capabilities, only auto exposure. I'm still searching for better options. These appear to be the differences: AE1- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto exposure but no or limited auto focus. AE2- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto focus, auto exposure w/ transluecent mirror. AE3- Same as AE1 but updated model. AE4- Same as AE2 but updated model If you really want an EA 1 or 2 there are other internet suppliers that still have these in stock.

There are MA to MD adapters on ebay but you'll be stuck with manual focus. It isn't likely to be worth the cost and hassle. If you are looking, what is it you wanted to do and at what budget?

i don't know the type of ports on the omd em1. typically olympus wants you to use your smart phone and the olympus OI app to control the em1

I have absolutely no problems with the lens. I use the lens on an Olympus OMD-EM1 and thus do not activate the OIS on the lens. I also have the Olympus 14-80 and they both move smoothly in the same way.

You don't have to tell it to turn OIS off. For all Oly bodies up to the E-M5, there is no way to turn OIS on for lenses having no OIS switch on the lens barrel. Since the 45-150 lacks such a switch its OIS will always be off on an E-PM1.For the two latest Oly bodies (E-PL5, E-PM2), OIS can be enabled even for lenses having no OIS switch on the lens barrel.

You have to be able to turn the lens incasement in order to adjust focus.You also might need to clean the lens with soft lint free cloth to remove any fingerprints that may be on the lens. If you haven't got too far on the install, you maybe able to adjust then reinstall. I hope this helps.

Turn the little black thing on the end of the lens a little at a time, that will focus. Then u can mov

I just figured out how to do this today with my new lens. Since Sigma did not put the autofocus/manual focus switch on the lens itself, you need to go into the information menu (the i menu on the lower left side of the camera) and set your focus mode to manual (change the AF-A on the right side to MF). Once you override the autofocus on the camera, use the outer ring on the lens to focus. Hope this helps! Took me a little bit of research to find this. :)

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

Expanding on my previous answer - there is an adapter for four-thirds to micro four-thirds mounts. The Oly version is kind of pricy - like $180. But maybe a good option if you have a bunch of four-thirds lenses you still want to use on Pen or OM.

Either Google it or look in the manual that came with your lens. Sorry, that's all I got.
