METABONES ADAPTER

Your kit includes a Metabones adapter that allows you to use

Canon EF lenses with the Sony A7S II.

How to Mount Your Lens

1. Dismount the base lens that comes with the kit, and set it

aside.

2. Before mounting your Canon lens, make sure there is a

battery in your camera.

3. Turn the camera body ON. It is important to do this before

mounting anything.

4. Attach the Metabones adapter to the Canon lens (align the

dots).

5. Locate this button on the side of the Metabones adapter.

6. Hold the button down as you mount it to your Sony camera

body (align the dots).

The camera should display an F-stop value on the bottom of

the screen if properly mounted. If improperly mounted, you will

see “F--.”

Troubleshooting

If the camera is not reading the new lens, and you cannot adjust

your iris (use the front dial), try dismounting and remounting

the Canon lens from the Metabones adapter (which should

stay attached to the camera body).
