I can't get it to focus

My adapter allows focus with all my OM lenses. I even machined an additional adapter to attach all my Pentax 6x7 lenses. That's a total of 8 lenses. However, focus needs to be done manually.

What kind of lens are you using you may have to set the back focus. Or since this is a cheap adaptor it may be too thick for your camera

This is an adapter only. It does not allow any electronic connections. That means that any Olympus Lens you attach to your Canon camera is manual focus only. I only use this with older lenses that have both focus and aperture on the lens.

you likely have to use the manual focus ring on the lens itself. This adaptor doesn't allow for auto-focus capability.

It may be set too sensitive. There are adjustment dials to adjust the sensitivity. The instructions explain how to adjust it.

I assume you've tried auto focus at different legnths. If unsuccessful you definitely need to return the lens. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Try making sure it is completely plugged in, otherwise take it out and try it again. Then if both of those don't work check to make sure you put it in properly and go into your settings and see what it's saying. I know when I first got it, it didn't read but then I looked and saw I didn't push it in all the way; after that it was fine.

A couple of easy things to try. The big eye you aim at can tilt and be hard to hit if not glued down. Also check all the connections, even the power plug.

To focus, you have to loosen the tiny phillips head screw, then turn the lens in and out for focus. It's hard to get it right, and once you have birds in the nest you can't really fiddle with it until they are gone. But try to get as far away from the actual nest as possible. (I was only able to see the moms shoulder as she built the nest on the same side as the camera. So go for the roof if you can.)

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

I returned it. I believe it connected but would not focus . Did not work for me.

Try putting your camera in manual mode. AF doesn't work with this adapter, so use it as a manual focus.

you can set it to focus automatically, focus on select items and focus on forground only. You need to go through the menus to see and select. I am still learning all the things it can do

I have these lens and I cannot use the autofocus, only manual. It won't focus no matter at what range. So disappointed..

You have to have the camera set to where you want it focused before using the remote. Basically, make sure the autofocus is where you want it and working before using the remote. Hope that helps!

Make sure you're using the correct lense. Don't use the high powered one yet. Use the lowest power. Point it at a far away house's window and get it focused. Next get the spotting scope calibrated on that window. Once you've done that, point it at the moon and focus on that. Sounds like you're just way out of focus.

No, I don't think you can focus it. I think it works great and I've never needed to focus. I use it to check the tubes in my daughters ears all the time.

first things first, be sure that it's in auto mode. There's also a manual focus mode. To check all your settings, simply swipe the shutter button up, you'll see the manual setting sliders. Check if the focus slider rests in auto mode. If it is not, slide all the way to your left, and leave it there. If this is not the case, check for the updates. First you gotta be sure that you're running the latest version of both the OS and the camera app. If no updates available, try to uninstall and install the camera app again. If nothing works, could be a hw problem. Let me know how it goes. Cheers.

Autofocus does not work with this adaptor. Use manual focus. It's like driving a stick shift car - once you learn, you will have more fun.
