Can you use Canon EF lenses on the GoPro ILS?

The aperture on Canon EF lenses is controlled using electronic communication between the camera and lens (which the GoPro ILS does not have) but you can get an all-manual Canon EF to Micro Four Thirds adapter that has actual aperture iris blades built into it (the focus will be manual as well).

Understanding Aperture Control in Canon EF Lenses

The aperture on Canon EF lenses is managed through electronic communication between the camera and lens. However, the GoPro ILS lacks this feature. For those looking to use Canon EF lenses with Micro Four Thirds systems, there is an option available:


  • All-Manual Canon EF to Micro Four Thirds Adapter: This adapter includes actual aperture iris blades, allowing for manual control of the aperture.

  • Manual Focus: Along with manual aperture control, focus will also need to be adjusted manually.


This setup provides a way to utilize Canon EF lenses in a more hands-on manner, suitable for photographers who prefer full control over their settings.
