old OM1 lenses + adapter +OLY-E620: How can I set manual controls (focus and exposure) on the new e620 and old OM1 lenses?

I only use manual lenses with my E-620 and it works great. I use Nikon, Oly and Ziess lenses with adapters. You need to set the camera setting to MF, set the dial to M for manual controls. The E620 happily provides metering support for manual lenses regardless of Make. You would need to adjust the aperture manually on the lens and the Shutter Speed from the camera dial. Of course, you have to focus using the manual ring on the lens as well. That's it.

Unfortunately not- there is no way to change aperture on this lens adapter.

Either Google it or look in the manual that came with your lens.Sorry, that's all I got.

i don't know the type of ports on the omd em1. typically olympus wants you to use your smart phone and the olympus OI app to control the em1

Yes you can buy an adapter that fits the old lens (FD) to the new (EOS) lens. You need to shop carefully because some of the adapters have plastic mounts and others will have metal mounts. Some will have a piece of glass to correct for the change in mounting distance. You will have to take manual pictures with the lens mounted to the adapter. That is you will need to set your camera in manual and then set the aperture, shutter speed and focus manually. Prices are in relation to quality of the adapter. Read reviews on the adapters that you think will meet your requirements. Don't shop for price alone. Quality and craftsmanship count more than price for a good picture and photo experience.

You have to put your camera on manual. This adapter doesn't connect to the camera the same way an already compatible lense would.

You may use the old lenses with the digital camera. If the lenses have the A lock on the aperture ring the camera can still be in full auto mode. I have 4 lenses for my old 35mm camera and they all work with my new K20D.

You can't use autofocus. These adapters are basically designed so that you can use the lovely AI and AI-S manual Nikon lenses on the modern EOS bodies. You can use them in aperture priority mode, too (where you set the aperture, and the camera sets the rest). But the other program modes that rely on setting the aperture automatically won't work.

I own the adapter, I own old AI lenses and EXPECT the combination to work! I have yet to purchase the X E1. (so I cannot tell you for sure)

Hi Makikonu, Yes you can use old third party lenses by using a proper adapter. -Anthony

Aaron D. Locke has nailed it - get an adapter. They have some here on Amazon that are available with Prime. Be sure to read the reviews. BTW, I use my husband's old FD lenses from his AE-1 on my micro 4/3 camera, and I'm enjoying them greatly. http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-PRO-Lens-Mount-Adapter/dp/B003EB0AXY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332972669&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Manual-Adapter-Optical-Elements/dp/B001KM5K98/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332972709&sr=1-3

On the Olympus OM-D E-M1, you can go to the Custom Menu/Release/Lens I.S. Priority. Choose "ON" to turn the OIS on, or choose "OFF" to turn the OIS off. Be sure to turn off the Olympus IBIS if you turn on the lens OIS, otherwise they will "fight" each other.

Dear Mr. Varlack, The product I received was exactly as described on the Amazon website. It worked as described and consistent with the reviews. I use is effectively to adapt old Nikon lenses to my Olympus EM5 micro 4/3 camera. You must set everything manually but the optics seem fine. Regards, R.Fisher

Yes, both are four-thirds cameras. If you get a new Oly micro-Four-Thirds (i.e., a Pen or an OMD) you will need an adapter. The micro-Four-Thirds will focus Four-Thirds lenses (i.e. for the 510 or 620) a lot slower unless you have the new EM-1.
