Fringer EF-NZ （Model FR-NZ1）User’s Manual
（Firmware v1.30）
1. Introduction
This adapter is compatible with Canon EF/EFS mount and Nikon Z mount protocols.
It can control lens’ aperture electronically, auto focus and report lens information for EXIF
recording. Most EF/EFS lenses manufactured by Canon and third parties, e.g. Sigma,
Tamron, etc., get similar phase detection AF performance to that of adapting Nikon F
mount lenses to Z mount through Nikon FTZ adapter.
Both bayonets of EF and Z mount are made of brass. The body and tripod mount are
made of alloy. All these parts are made by high precision CNC and very solid and durable.
The professional light extinction design inside the adapter will make sure the optical
performance of the lens is maximized.
A removable tripod mount is included. It’s useful when medium sized lenses are used
or when the whole setup is to be installed on a gimble. But if you don’t need it, you may
remove it by uninstalling the two screws under it using the L-wrench which is also
included. When you reinstall it, please be noted that don’t use too much force. Or the
thread may be damaged.
There is a Micro USB plug for a firmware update purpose near the tripod mount. Read
section 4 for more details.
