User's Manual
Getting started
1. Launch your camera app and apply settings to invert the image back to its normal orientation. Please refer
to the app user guide to find this setting/controls.
2. Turn off Image Stabilization.
3. Lock your phone's focus in macro mode. To find the proper macro focusing setting: keep the app focus on
auto & point your lens on the object. Slowly pull the focus on your lens to get your object in focus, then lock
the focus in the app.
4. Once focus is locked, you can manually pull the focus on your SLR/DSLR lens
Compatible lenses
The main purpose of the DOF MK2 is to add a beautiful, real shallow depth-of-field and bokeh to your photos
and videos. For the best results, we recommend using lenses that meet the following criteria:
Fast
There is some light loss when using the DOF MK2. For the best results, we recommend using fast lenses with
an aperture between f1.2 - f2.8, and opening your aperture as wide as possible. You can use lenses with a
slower/closed aperture, but results may vary.
Full frame
The DOF MK2 is designed for full frame lenses. Although crop/APS-C lenses like the Canon EF-S or Nikon
DX will technically work, they will have a lot of vignetting and are not recommended.
Manual/mechanical focus
Your lens needs to be able to focus manually without being attached to a DSLR camera body.
Lenses like the Canon STM that rely on electronics or a camera body to focus are NOT compatible
with the DOF MK2.
Compatible lens mounts
Direct mount
Canon EF lenses can be mounted directly onto the DOF MK2 and are compatible "out of the box," as long as
the requirements above are met.
Adaptable mount
Nikon F mount, Pentax K mount and M42 mount lenses can be mounted on the DOF MK2 with a simple
adapter ring. Note: Your lens has to meet the criteria listed above.
Nikon F
Nikon G
Pentax K
M42
Attention: Mirrorless and/or Micro Four Thirds lenses are not compatible with the DOF MK2.
