Canon EF/EF-S Lens to
Micro Four Thirds Mount

2
The Vello Auto Lens Adapter is for attaching Canon EF and EF-S lenses to a Micro Four
Thirds mount. It features autofocus and autoexposure functionality, delivers metadata for
your pictures, and oers a near-silent aperture toggle. This toggle quietly selects the f-stop
and reduces unwanted noise during video recording. The inside of the adapter is coated to
reduce any stray reflections and maximize picture quality. A USB port allows for firmware
updates, and the tripod foot is detachable and will work with most brands of tripods.
