Precision Made M-Mount Adapter
Similar to the FUJIFILM X-Pro1's exacting design standards, the precision madeM-Mount Adapter is engineered to deliver superb results for discerningphotographers.The M-Mount Adapter is comprised of three parts: an aluminum mount for thebody, a stainless steel mount for the lens, and an aluminum central tube. Thisconstruction enables an accurately-maintained distance of 27.8mm from the lensmount to sensor, which is crucial for delivering high quality and highresolution images.
The camera side of the M-Mount Adapter features an array of electronicconnections that automatically pass information to the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 bodybased on pre-registered lens profiles. With firmware version 1.10 or later,this information is transmitted by pressing the Function button on the side ofthe adapter, which allows users to access the M-Mount Adapter Settings menu onthe rear LCD.
While attached, the M-Mount Adapter still allows users to enjoy the benefitsof the FUJIFILM X-Pro1's extraordinary Hybrid Multi Viewfinder. The ElectronicViewfinder (EVF) and LCD monitor both offer a 100% field of view, and theOptical Viewfinder (OVF) displays a bright frame corresponding to the focallength in use.
M-Mount Adapter ProvidesUltimate Control
The FUJIFILM M-Mount Adapter provides ultimate control by allowing users tocreate and fine tune lens profiles through the X-Pro1's Mount Adapter Settingsmenu. This menu allows X-Pro1 users to profile up to six lenses. There are fourpre-sets for 21mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm lenses, plus two optional settings foradditional optics.With the Fujifilm M-MountAdapter attached, profiles can be user-defined, based on distortion, peripheralillumination and color shading corrections.
Three levels of distortion correction are also available to combat barreldistortion on wide-angle lenses, and pincushion distortion on telephoto lenses.Users can select from Strong, Medium or Weak correction, or simply turn anycorrection off.
Peripheral illumination controls the amount of darkening at the four cornersof an image. Eleven levels of correction can be applied from +5 to -5(including "0") with users given the choice of darkening the cornersof the image to emphasise a central subject or lightening edges for more evenillumination across the frame.
Finally, color shading correction allows each corner of the frame to be colorcorrected to combat any shift in color between the center and edges of theframe. Corrections can be made to red/cyan color shading and blue/yellow colorshading from -9 to +9 relative to the green channel.FUJIFILM M-Mount Adapter key features
