Got my kit and camera today. Put a lens on and when I shut it down it falls off? What am I doing wrong?

Did you drop the camera? Probably you have a mechanical problem , should be easy to fix

if it just shuts down out of nowhere try charging it and the same thing hapened to my camera so try to reset it.

Try attaching the lens adapter to the lens before attaching it to the camera. I have kept mine on my Pentax 50mm lens to be apart of the lens itself.

If you are using the reverse mount, you are mounting the lens backwards. This means there will be no electric connections to the camera. You must set your lens to manual and adjust the focus and exposure manually, otherwise it will not work. Which lens are you using? Did you attach the ring to the front of the lens glass or the cameras lens mount?

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps..... I had a lil trouble myself until I faced the lens up.... its a problem because the threads are so fine and they want to jump the track and go the next thread down.... which makes it come out weird... the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps.....

On my lens there is a ridged release button on the lens just next to where the red line-up dot is on the adapter. Push down on the button and turn the adapter. It should come right off.

I also had trouble at first. There is a metal tab on the interior of the adapter that you have to push in to get it to "lock." You may need to use a small screwdriver to hold it down while placing it onto the lens. Once it's on you'll know.

I think I solved the problem by moving the camera lens away from being over the sensor. I found that I had this issue when the lens was over the sensor but not if I adjusted it. Not sure if this helps anyone else.

Look to check that its not in playback mode. The lense closes automatically while in playback mode.

Have the same problem-seems my auto lens cap is NOT opening automatically. I have to tap it to open and tap it to close, losing the shot some of the time...

I had the same problem and I found a fix on a different site, so I thought I'd put it up here, too. It seems the "access" message happens because the lens doesn't open all the way; not sure why that is. However, when my camera opens and says "access," all I have to do is get it all the way out. So: very VERY GENTLY pull on the end of the lens (away from the camera body). You can't even feel it move, really, but then it starts working again! Hope this helps.

Nope. Keeps sliding off. Definitely not worth it. I was really excited for it but once I got it and set it on my lens it just kept falling off.

ADAPTER SEEMS STUCK? OK, this is easy (unless you've already forced it and broken it off.) As already noted in the comments, The silver button on the adapter SLIDES towards the camera and that releases the lens. It doesn't push in as you might think.
