4.3 IS Anti-Shake Function Support

The adapter supports the Image Stabilization (IS) anti-shake function of compatible lenses, helping to prevent camera and lens shake. This results in clearer and higher-quality images, especially in challenging shooting conditions.

4.4 0.71x Focal Reducer Booster

The built-in optical correction group reduces the focal length of the attached lens by 0.71x and increases the aperture by 1 stop. This allows for a wider field of view and improved low-light performance. To calculate the approximate equivalent focal length for an M4/3 camera, shorten the lens's focal length by 0.71 and then multiply by the M4/3 conversion rate.
