Firmware Update 0.41 for Metabones Smart Adapter IV

Metabones has released Firmware Update 0.41 for their Metabones Smart Adapter IV. This is a major firmware update for Sony a7II users because it addresses incompatibility issues between Canon IS lenses and Sony a7II camera IBIS.

Prior to this firmware update, Metabones Smart Adapter IV would over-compensate for image shake by using both Canon lens IS and camera IBIS. (Other Canon smart adapters do this to - Metabones is simply the first to offer a fix.)

With this update, users can use the lens IS switch to choose between using lens-based optical Image Stabilization and Sony a7II IBIS:

If the lens IS switch is ON, lens-based optical IS is used and camera IBIS is turned off automatically.

If the lens IS switch is OFF, the a7II camera-based IBIS takes over image stabilization.

To turn off all IS, hold down the WO button on the adapter while switching the lens’ IS to the OFF position.

All Metabones Smart Adapter IV users will want to run this firmware update since it also adds autofocus support for some additional Canon legacy lenses on Sony E-Mount cameras including Sony a7, a7R, a7S, a7II, a6000, a5100, a5000 and NEX.
