폷 Length and weight listed in lens specifications are for lens with Nikon mount.
폷 Feature and cosmetic design of lens may change 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 (w) on the lensbarrel with its counterpart on the camera mount and insert the lens. Rotate the lens
clockwise (in case of Nikon models, counter-clockwise) until it clicks into the lockedposition.

쐽 How to detach the lensPress the lens release button on the camera, turn the lens counter-clockwise (in caseof a 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)
Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to AF mode (auto focus) in case of aSony or Pentax camera. In case of a Canon or Nikon camera, switch the AF/MF switch(q) on the lens to AF. (Fig. 3) Press the shutter button lightly while looking through theviewfinder. The lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light-up in theviewfinder when the lens accurately focuses on the main subject. Press the shutter
button all the way to take the image.
폷 When set on AF mode, interfering with focus ring (8) 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 (Manual Focus) (Ref. Figs. 1, 2, 4)
Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to MF mode (manual focus) in case ofa Sony or Pentax camera.
In case of a Canon or Nikon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (q) on the lens to MF.
(Fig. 4)Focus manually by rotating the focus ring (8) while looking through the camera’sviewfinder. The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens is focusedcorrectly.
폷 Even in the MF mode, when turning the focus ring (8) and simultaneously pressing theshutter 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 on theA09 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.

ZOOMING (Ref. Figs. 1, 2)
Rotate the zoom ring (9) of the lens while looking through the viewfinder and compose
your image at the chosen focal length.

ZOOM LOCK SWITCH (Ref. Fig. 9, 0)
Model A09 is equipped with a newly developped zoom lock switch mechanism which
prevent lens barrel from extendting towards long focal length, while hanging around theneck. Activate the switch at 28 mm setting to stop the lens barrels from rotating andextending.

쐽 How to activate the zoom lock switch mechanism

1) Locking: Set the lens to the 28-mm position. Move the zoom lock switch u
toward the camera for locking the zoomring. In case of model A09, the lens barrel
is locked in position when the portion beneath “Lock” is shown in red and thelens barrel does not rotate or extend by its own weight.
2) Releasing: Push the switch away from your camera. The lens barrel is now free
to rotate and extend for zooming.
폷 The zoom lock switch can not be activated unless the lens is set to the 28-mm

position. Do not force the lock switch or try to rotate the lens barrel while locked.

폷 The zoom lock mechanism is made to prevent the lens barrel from extending

while carried around the neck. When not locked and the zoom lens may change its
focal length during a long exposure used in a low or high angle position.

폷 The lens can be used at 28-mm setting for picture taking even while in the focusedposition.

LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE (Ref. Figs. 1, 5)
쐽 Setting the aperture with Nikon, Canon or Sony camera

Set the aperture with aperture selection control on the camera body in accordancewith the shooting mode.

쐽 Setting the aperture with Pentax camera

The camera may have three ways to set the aperture: adjusting the lens aperturering, setting from the camera, and setting from both the lens and the camera.
폷 Setting the aperture by adjusting the lens aperture ring
Turn the aperture ring (t) to select the desired aperture (f-stop).
폷 Setting the aperture from the camera
Set the aperture ring (t) to “A” and select the desired aperture (f-stop) from thecamera’s aperture selection control.
폷 For further details, please red the instruction manual of your camera.

LENS HOOD (Ref. Figs. 1, 6 to 8)
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. 6 & 7)

Align Hood attaching alignment mark 2 on the hood with the hood attaching index 5on the lens. Press the hood lightly onto the hood attaching bayonet ring and then rotate itclockwise to secure (Fig. 6). The lens hood will be secure when the hood attachingindicator 3 “TAMRON 쑗” is at the top (Fig. 7).
폷 Improper attachment of a hood may cause large shadowed areas in your pictures.

쐽 Stowing lens hood on the lens (Ref. Fig. 8)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. 8)

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING폷 The optical design for Di takes into consideration the various features of digital SLRcameras. However, due to the configuration of digital SLR cameras, even when theauto focus accuracy is within specifications, the focal point may be a little forward orbehind the optimum point when shooting with auto focus under some conditions.
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 theinstruction manual of your camera.
폷 When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, please be cautious of camera shake.
To avoid camera shake with digital cameras, use higher ISO setting; for film cameras,
use higher ISO film to obtain higher shutter speeds. Using a tripod or monopod isalso effective.
폷 When set on AF mode, interfering with the focus ring may cause serious damage tothe lens mechanism.
폷 Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values ofthe lens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not
an indication of an error.
폷 This lens does not have an infrared index line.

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 removefingerprints 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 photographic 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 and lens] 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.
