It adds a page to the menu which comes up when you press the button on the adaptor. It allows you to select and store a range of corrections, colour and vignetting come to mind, for 5 or 6 lenses of your choice. You select which lens from the menu when you mount it and its details are added to the exif and the selected, user adjustable, corrections are applied. It seems pricy but it is by miles the most useful lens adapter I have ever used. Worth every penny IMO.
