Hi there. Sorry to bother you all but since this is a forum specifically for GH4 users, I figured it would be ok if i posted this here. I bought GH4 and metabones nikon to m43 speed booster a while ago, and I've been having a hard time figuring out if there is something wrong with my speed booster. i hope somebody who has the same speedbooster can help me.
I'll just copy/paste the email i already sent to metabones with no luck. Some Chinese guy answered me, terrible English, I mean it's not my native tongue either, but I find the answer:" Hi, pls send booster here, we fix, it need to setting again, we send back ASAP", unacceptable from such manufacturer. Here's my email:
Hello, I recently purchased Nikon G to micro four thirds speed booster for my Panasonic GH4, and after 3 days of usage I encountered two, I think, quirks. Maybe it's a design flaw or camera's fault, but here's what happened:
a) sometimes when I turn the camera on, it won't let me set the shutter speed higher than 1/250th. I have to pull out the battery and put it back in, in order for it to let me go past 1/250th. Is that as designed or is it some kind of flaw?
when I set my aperture to F on the speed booster and want to stop it down a little, there is a small delay when I turn it from "F" to "1". What I mean by that is that the aperture blades won't move until I'd almost reach the "1" value. Only after I've turned about 1/3 of the distance from "F" to "1", the aperture blades start to close. Again - is that as designed or is something wrong with my speed booster?
Thank you for your time and support.
I would really appreciate if you shared with your info since im kinda desperate because im a student and that speedbooster didnt come cheap, especially in Europe. im really trying to figure out if somethings wrong with my unit or not. Thanks in advance.
