ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS (Ref. Fig. 1)
How to mount the lens
Remove the rear cap of the lens. Align the Lens attachment mark y on the lens barrel with its counterpart on the camera mount and insert the lens. Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks. For Nikon models, align the lens attachment mark with the dot on the camera and rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it click-locks.
How to detach the lens
Pressing the lens release button on the camera down, turn the lens counter-clockwise (in case of Nikon lens, clockwise), and lift the lens off the camera’s lens mount.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
FOCUSING (Autofocus) (Ref. Figs. 1, 2, 3 )
In case of Nikon and Canon cameras, push the focusing ring/AF·MF selector 6 forward to switch to AF mode. In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set the focus mode to “S” or “C”, and then set the focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6 to “AF.” In case of Sony and focusing ring/AF·MF selector 6 forward to switch to AF mode. (Fig. 3) Press the shutter button lightly while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder. The lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph.
When set on AF mode, interfering with focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6 may cause
serious damage to the lens mechanism.
Make sure that you can see the letters “AF” 7 on the focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6. The distance scale 7 is marked for guidance purposes. The actual focal point may
slightly differ from the distance marked on the focal length index.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
FOCUSING (Manual Focus) (Ref. Figs. 1, 2 , 4 )
In case of Nikon and Canon cameras, push the focusing ring/AF·MF selector 6 backward to switch to MF mode. In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set the focus mode to “M”, and then set the focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6 to “MF.” In case of Sony and focusing ring/AF·MF selector 6 to backward to switch to MF mode. (Fig. 4) Focus manually rotating the focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6 while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder. The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens is focused correctly.
Pentax cameras, set the camera to AF mode. Then push the
Pentax cameras, set the camera to MF mode. Then push the
Make sure the blue ring surrounding the focus ring is visible and the AF/MF selector
6 covers the “M” mark 7.
Even in the MF mode, when turning focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6 while pressing the shutter button halfway, the focus aid function lamp lights up when the picture is in focus.
At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position is made with
certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
ZOOMING (Ref. Fig. 1 & 2 )
Rotate zooming ring 0 of the lens while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder and compose your image at the chosen focal length.
LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE
Please follow the instruction manual of your camera.
LENS HOOD (Ref. Figs. 1, 5 to 7 )
A bayonet-type lens hood is provided as standard equipment. We recommend shooting with the hood attached whenever possible as the lens hood eliminates stray light, which is harmful to the picture. However, please be aware of the precautions stated in the next section when your camera is equipped with a built-in flash.
Attaching the Lens Hood (Ref. Figs. 5 & 6 )
Align Hood attaching alignment mark 2 on the hood with the corresponding index mark 5 on the lens. Press the hood lightly onto the hood attaching bayonet ring and then
rotate it clockwise to secure (Fig. 5). The lens hood will be secure when the mark “TAMRON ” is at the top (Fig. 6).
Improper attachment of a hood may cause large shadowed areas in your pictures.
Stowing lens hood on the lens (Ref. Fig. 7 )
1) Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward the opening, then align the hood attaching index 5 on the lens with the hood attaching indicator 3 (TAMRON ) on the hood.
2) Turn the hood clockwise until the alignment mark (•) 2 is at the top to set it. (Fig. 7)
TRIPOD MOUNT (Ref. Figs. 1, 8 & 9 )
A001 comes with a tripod mount. When using a tripod, mount the lens to it using the tripod mount.
Changing the position of the camera horizontally and vertically. (Ref. Figs.
1) Turn the locking screw e on the tripod mount counter-clockwise to loosen. (Step 1)
2) Line up the tripod mount index w with the vertical index r or with the horizontal index t. (Step 2)
3) Turn the locking screw e on the tripod mount clockwise to secure. (Step 1)
8)
Removing the tripod mount (Ref. Figs. 9 )
1) Turn the locking screw e on the tripod mount counter-clockwise. (Step 1)
2) The tripod mount q will loosen and can then be removed from the lens. (Step 3)
Installing the tripod mount (Ref. Figs. 9 )
1) Loosen the tripod mount q and attach it to the lens barrel. (Step 3)
2) Tighten the tripod mount q and turn the locking screw e clockwise to secure. (Step
1)
When attaching or removing the tripod mount, be careful not to drop the camera and/or the lens.
Be cautious when carrying the lens while lens is attached to the tripod mount.
PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING
The optical design for Di takes into consideration the various features of digital single
reflex cameras. However, due to the configuration of the digital single reflex cameras, even when the autofocus accuracy is within specifications, the focal point may be a little forward or behind the optimum point when shooting with auto focus under some conditions.
The lens employs an internal focusing (IF) system. Because of the characteristics of this
optical design, the angles of view at distances other than infinity are wider than that of the lenses applying an ordinary focusing system.
When the built-in flash on the camera is used, adverse photographic phenomena such as corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may be observed, especially in wide angle ranges. This is due to the inherent limitation of the coverage of the built-in flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel which causes shadows on the image. It is strongly recommended to use a suitable separate flash unit provided by the camera manufacturer for all flash photography. For further details, please read the “built-in flash” article on the instruction manual of your camera.
When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, please be cauticus with the camera
shake. To avoid camera shake, for the digital cameras, use an ISO setting of higher numbers and for the film cameras, use the film with high ISO numbers to obtain higher shutter speed. Using a tripod or monopod is also effective. When hand-holding the camera to take pictures, stand still opening your legs slightly a part, hold your elbows in firmly against your chest, and hold the camera firmly against your face. If possible, lean against something to steady yourself or place the camera on something to secure the hold. Especially when hand-holding your camera, you will be steadier if you hold your breath, while you press the shutter button gently and firmly.
When set on AF mode, interfering with focusing ring may cause serious damage to the
lens mechanism.
Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of the
lens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not an indication of an error.
Please be aware that there is no infrared index line on any models listed in this owner’s
manual, and therefore, practically, no black-and- white infrared film can be used with these lenses.
TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION
Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or blower to
remove dust from the lens element surface. When not using the lens, always place a lens cap on it for protection.
Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to remove fingerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary motion from the center to the edge.
Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.Mildew is an enemy of your lens. Clean the lens after shooting near water or in any humid
place. Store your lens in a clean, cool and dry place.When storing the lens in an lens case, store it with commercially available drying agent such as silicagel, and change the agent occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized repair shop or nearby photographic store.
Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or stains may cause a
contact failure between the lens and camera.
When using your equipment [camera(s) and lens(es)] in an environment where the
temperature changes from one extreme to the other, make sure to put your equipment temporarily in a case or a plastic bag for a length of time in order for the equipment to go through a gradual temperature shift. This will reduce potential equipment trouble.
