Hi All

I bought a lens adapter for my Lumix GF1 from Hong Kong so i can use my Olumpus Zuiko OM lenses. The adapter came today and the lenses fit perfect and the adapter fits to the camera perfect. When i try and take a pic i get a message on screen saying "Please check that the lens is attached correctly" so i can't take a pic :(

How do i get this to work?? The adapter was designed to use the Olympus Zuiko OM lenses and title of ebay advert says "Olympus OM lens to for Panasonic GF1 GH1 G1 EP1 Adapter"

Thanks

Andy

I think there is a setting in the menu that helps, something along the lines of...

"Take Pictures Without Lens Attached"

I don't have mine with me to check though.. :(
