ULANZI DOF User manual

DOF Adapter User Guide
The ULANZI DOF Adapter is an advanced smartphone SLR/DSLR & Cinema lens adapter.
It allows you to use an SLR/DSLR & Cinema* lens with the powerful smartphone camera
that you have in your pocket for an incredible bokeh, shallow depth-of-field and film-style
look and the ability to pull focus manually like on professional cinema cameras.
Please note: Using a DOF adapter is not simply "point and shoot" capable; it takes time
and practice to achieve the desired results. DOF adapters are a great way to express your
artistic nature, allowing you to create unique photographs and
videos with your camera phone.
ULANZI DOF Adapter is a Sony E-Mount adapter, most of the full-frame manual lens can
be used with the proper adapter rings to E mount.
Note :
Only Full Frame Manual lens is compatible.
For best results, we recommend using fast lenses (f0.9-f2.8)

the image back to normal while shooting:
Mounting the DOF Adapter

Case and align the lens mount with your phone’s main camera.
Note: it is compatible with all ULANZI Phone Case and Phone Cage.

2. Screw the DOF Adapter into the lens mount.
3. Release the Screw (A) and rotate the barrel (B) clockwise until the focusing screen is
aligned horizontally; then lock the Screw.
4. Attach your SLR or DSLR lens to the bayonet mount.

Getting started
1. Launch your camera app and invert the image back to its normal orientation.
2. Lock your phone's focus (usually by tapping/holding the screen or the square on some
apps).
3. Turn the focus dial on your SLR/DSLR lens until your image is in focus.
Compatible lenses
The main purpose of the DOF Adapter is to add a beautiful, real shallow depth-of-field and
bokeh to your photos and videos. For the best results, we recommend using lenses that
meet the following criteria:
Fast There is some light loss when using the DOF Adapter. For the best results, we
recommend using fast lenses with an aperture between f0.9 - f2.8, and opening your
aperture as wide as possible. You can use lenses with a slower/closed aperture, but
results may vary.
Full frame The DOF Adapter is designed for full-frame lenses.
Manual/mechanical focus Your lens needs to be able to focus manually without
being attached to a DSLR camera body. Lenses rely on electronics or a camera body
to focus are not compatible with the DOF Adapter.
Compatible lens mounts
Direct mount

Sony E Mount Manual lenses can be mounted directly onto the DOF Adapter
Adaptable mount
The following lenses can be mounted on the DOF Adapter with a simple adapter ring.

Attention: Mirrorless and/or Micro Four Thirds lenses are not compatible with the DOF
Adapter.
If you're unsure if your lens is compatible, please send us a link to the technical specs of
the lens at and we will do our best to find out for you.
Maintenance
The DOF Adapter is mostly maintenance-free. The sensitive focusing screen
is fully enclosed for protection from dust and damages. Due to the
nature of this technology, there may still be microscopic imperfections
or specs on the diffuser surface of the focusing screen - which is
normal.
ATTENTION: Disassembling the DOF Adapter will void the warranty and likely damage the
internal optical components.
