쏄 Length, diameter and weight listed in the lens specifications are for lenses with Nikon mounts.

폷 Features and cosmetic designs of lenses listed in this owner’s manual may be revised
without notice.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS (Ref. Fig. 1 )쐽 How to mount the lensRemove 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.

쐽 How to detach the lensPressing 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.
폷 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 Pentax cameras, set the camera to AF mode. Then push thefocusing ring/AF·MF selector 6 forward to switch to AF mode. (Fig. 3) Press theshutter 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.
폷 When set on AF mode, interfering with focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6 may cause
serious damage to the lens mechanism.

폷 Make sure that you can see the letters “AF” 7 on the focusing ring / AF·MF selector 6.
폷 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.

폷 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 6backward 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 Pentax cameras, set the camera to MF mode. Then push thefocusing 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 thecamera’s viewfinder. The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens isfocused correctly.

폷 Make sure the blue ring surrounding the focus ring is visible and the AF/MF selector
6 covers the “M” mark 7.
폷 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.
폷 At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position is made withcertain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.
폷 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 andcompose 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 withthe hood attached whenever possible as the lens hood eliminates stray light, which isharmful 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.

쐽 Attaching the Lens Hood (Ref. Figs. 5 & 6 )Align Hood attaching alignment mark 2 on the hood with the corresponding index mark5 on the lens. Press the hood lightly onto the hood attaching bayonet ring and thenrotate it clockwise to secure (Fig. 5). The lens hood will be secure when the mark
“TAMRON 쑗” is at the top (Fig. 6).
폷 Improper attachment of a hood may cause large shadowed areas in your pictures.

쐽 Stowing lens hood on the lens (Ref. Fig. 7 )1) Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward the opening, then align the hoodattaching index 5 on the lens with the hood attaching indicator 3 (TAMRON 쑗) onthe 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 tripodmount.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING폷 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, evenwhen 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 someconditions.
폷 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 thelenses applying an ordinary focusing system.
폷 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 ofthe 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.
폷 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 apart, 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 besteadier if you hold your breath, while you press the shutter button gently and firmly.
폷 When set on AF mode, interfering with focusing ring may cause serious damage to thelens mechanism.
폷 Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of thelens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not anindication of an error.
폷 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 withthese lenses.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION

쐽 Changing the position of the camera horizontally and vertically. (Ref. Figs. 8 ) 폷 Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or blower to1) 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)
