Question :
What is the difference between the MMF-1 and MMF-2?

Answer:
The MMF-1 and MMF-2 Four Thirds-to-Micro Four Thirds lens adapters differ in weight and color.

While retaining the function and performance of its predecessor, the MMF-2 attained a lighter weight by re-examining the inner structure of the adapter.
The MMF-2 also provides a new color option that fits the design of Four Thirds lenses and PEN bodies.

Differences between the MMF-1 and MMF-2

MMF-1	Silver	83g
MMF-2	Black	41g

Question :
How do I attach the eyecup EP-9 to the VF-2?

Answer:
The following procedure explains how to attach the eyecup EP-9 to the electronic viewfinder VF-2.

1. Remove the diopter corrector ring from the VF-2.
2. Hold the EP-9 with one hand and the VF-2 with the other. Align the mark on the EP-9 with the mark on the VF-2, and then slide the rim of the EP-9 over the VF-2.
   
   Tips:
   To attach the eyecup easily: Rotate part a (which is shown in the illustration above) until the mark is centered between the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols. Then, place the eyecup over a, covering the mark.
3. Without releasing the VF-2, reach around the eyecup with your thumb and support the VF-2 by pressing lightly on the inside of the eyecup.
4. Using your other thumb and index finger, grip the outside edge of the eyecup. Little by little,working in a circle, pull the rim of the eyecup over the VF-2.
5. Check whether the EP-9 is properly attached to the VF-2.

Question :
What are the differences among the image stabilizer modes?

Answer:
You can select from three image stabilizer modes: I.S.1, I.S.2 and I.S.3. In the default setting, the image stabilizer is set to OFF.

Mode
OFF	Image stabilizer is OFF.
I.S.1	Image stabilizer is ON.
I.S.2	The image stabilizer corrects only the vertical ( ) camera shake. This allows you to track the subject by panning the camera horizontally.
I.S.3	The image stabilizer corrects only the horizontal () camera shake. This allows you to track the subject by panning the camera vertically.

When attaching the camera to a lens other than a Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds lens, the image stabilizer corrects the camera shake based on the focal length you have set.

- You can set the focal length from 8mm to 1000mm.
- Set the focal length to the value (or the nearest value) that is displayed on the attached lens.
