Fringer EF-FX Adapter Firmware 3.20 and 1.40 Released

For Gen2, i.e. EF-FX Pro II and EF-FX II, V1.40 firmware is released.

  1. Fixed PDAF issues for some lens of the following models: Lens didn’t get recognized by the adapter due to different lens firmware version.
  2. Bug fixed: Under some circumstances in video mode, the video recorded may suddenly become brighter or darker at 0.25 seconds from the beginning.
  3. Fixed compatibility issues with X-A7 camera. Be noted, since X-A7 is equipped with a none X-Trans CMOS, its AF performance is poorer when using EF mount lenses. Please use MF mode if necessary.
