Using the full-time manual function?
G005 is equipped with the full-time manual function.
The full-time manual function is a function that the focus can be fine-tuned by themanual focus without switching the AF/MF changing switch when taking a picture ofauto focus.
폷 How to use the full-time manual function
First, set the focus mode to “AF”.
You can adjust focus manually while turning the focus ring in the shutter button ispressed lightly.

폷 When set on AF mode, interfering with focusing ring (6) may cause serious damage tothe lens mechanism.

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 (Autofocus) and using the full-time manual function
In case of Sony cameras, switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to Autofocusing mode (AF). In case of a Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (9)on the lens to AF. (Fig. 3). In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial,
set the focus mode to “S” or “C”, and then set the AF/MF switch on the lens side (9) to“AF”. Press the shutter button lightly while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder, thelens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light when lens focuses on the main
subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph.

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

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS (Ref. Figs. 1)
쐽 How to mount the lensRemoving the rear cap of the lens. Align the lens attachment mark (0) on the lensbarrel with its counterpart on the camera mount and insert the lens.
Rotate the lens clockwise (in case of Nikon lens, counter-clockwise) until it clicklocks.

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 The image circles of Di II lenses are designed to match the digital SLR cameras using
the image sensors equivalent to APS-C (approx. 15.5 x 23.2mm). Do not use Di II lenses
with cameras using image sensors larger than APS-C. Using Di II lenses with suchcameras may cause vignetting on the image.
폷 Some Canon cameras have index marks for attaching both EF lenses (red circle) and
EF-S lenses (white square).
To attach or remove the DiII lenses, align the lens attachment mark on the lens (0)with the index mark for EF lenses.
Do not forcibly align the lens attachment mark with the index mark for EF-S lens
(white square) .
Doing so could result in damage to the lens and/or camera.

폷 For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

FOCUSING (Manual Focus) (Ref. Figs. 1, 2 & 4 )In case of Sony cameras, switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to manual
focusing mode (MF). In case of a Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (9)on the lens to MF. (Fig. 4) In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial,
set the focus mode to “M”, and then set the AF/MF switch on the lens side (9) to"MF". Focus manually rotating the focusing ring (6) while viewing through thecamera’s viewfinder. The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens isfocused correctly.
폷 Even in the MF mode, turning focusing ring (6) while pressing the shutter button halfway thefocus 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 on

G005 is made with certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.

폷 For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE
Please follow the instruction manual of your camera.

LENS HOOD (Ref. Figs. 1 , 5 , 6 & 7 )A bayonet-type lens hood is provided as standard equipment. We recommend shootingwith the hood attached whenever possible as the lens hood eliminates stray light whichis harmful to the picture. However, please be aware of the "PRECAUTIONS INSHOOTING" when your camera is equipped with a built-in flash.

쐽 Attaching the Lens Hood (Ref. Figs. 5 & 6)

Align the hood attaching alignment mark (2) on the hood with the corresponding hoodattaching bayonet ring (5) (or the top of the index line of the distance scale) on thelens. Press the hood lightly onto the hood attaching bayonet ring (Fig. 5) and thenrotate it clockwise to secure (Fig. 5). The lens hood will be securely held as the mark
“TAMRON 쑗” comes to the top (Fig. 6).
폷 Pay particular attention to align the hood attaching indexes when using zoom lenses
including wide-angle (e.i. 35 mm or wider) settings.
Improper attachment of a hood for wide-angle zoom lens may cause large shadowed
areas in your pictures.

쐽 Removing the lens hood1) Turn the hood 1 anticlockwise. The lens hood 1 will be removed from the lens.

쐽 Stowing lens hood on the lens1) Point the lens hood toward to opening, then align the hood attachment mark 5
on the lens with the (TAMRON 쑗) alignment on the hood 3 (Fig. 7)2) Turn the hood 1 anticlockwise until its alignment mark 2 is at the top to set it (Fig.
7).

쐽 Removing the lens hood when stowing

1) Turn the hood 1 anticlockwise. The lens hood 1 will be removed from the lens.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING폷 The optical design for Di II 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.
폷 The image circles of Di II lenses are designed to match the digital SLR cameras using
the image sensors equivalent to APS-C (approx. 15.5҂ 23.2mm). Do not use Di II
lenses with cameras using image sensors larger than APS-C. Using Di II lenses withsuch cameras may cause vignetting on the image.
폷 (G005) employ 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 thatof the lenses applying an ordinary focusing system.
폷 When the built-in flash on the camera is used, adverse photographic phenomena suchas corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may beobserved, especially in wide angle ranges. This is due to the inherent limitation of thecoverage of the built-in flash,and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge ofthe lens barrel which causes shadows on the image. It is strongly recommended touse 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 ofyour camera.
폷 The use of teleconverters is not recommended due to the optical performance of thelens.
폷 When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, please be careful with the camera
shake. Effective way to avoid the camera shake is using an ISO setting of highernumbers. Using a tripod or monopod is also effective.
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 ofthe lens appropriate numbers. This is not an indication of an error.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION폷 Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or blower toremove dust from the lens element surface. When not using the lens, always place alens cap on it for protection.
폷 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 tothe edge.
폷 Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.
폷 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 silica gel, andchange the agent occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized
repair shop or nearby photo-graphic store.
폷 Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or stains may
cause a contact failure between the lens and camera.
폷 When using your equipment [camera(s) and lens(es)] in an environment where thetemperature changes from one extreme to the other, make sure to put yourequipment temporarily in a case or a plastic bag for a length of time in order for theequipment to go through a gradual temperature shift.
This will reduce potential equipment trouble.
