Installation on Camera, Focusing | Tamron 360EM, 360EN guide

INSTALLATION ON CAMERA

Installation

After removing the rear lens cap from the lens, align the mount positioning point on the lens with that on the camera, and rotate the lens clockwise (counterclockwise when using Nikon model) until you hear a click, which indicates the lens being securely locked in place.

There is no mount-positioning index marking on the lens to fit Nikon. Please align the aperture/zoom index line on the lens with the mount-positioning index point on the camera (same as AF Nikkor lenses) accordingly.

Detaching

While pressing the lens release button on the camera, turn the lens counterclockwise (clockwise when using Nikon model.)

*Be careful not to touch the signal terminals of the lens during installation or removal. A stained or damaged terminal may cause poor contact and malfunction.

FOCUSING [1]

Automatic Focusing

When the camera is used in the auto focus mode, the lens focuses automatically. During the AF (Auto Focus) operation, the focusing ring will rotate and its movement should not be hindered. Fo this reason, we recommend using the focusing ring cover. To use, pull it out to its fullest extent.

Manual Focusing

Switch the camera to the manual focus mode and turn the focusing ring to focus while looking through the viewfinder. The correct focus position is determined when the picture in the viewfind- er becomes sharp. If the focusing ring is rotated while pressing the shutter release button halfwa down, the focus indicator in the viewfinder will light up when the subject comes in focus. In manu al photography, focusing should always be checked through the viewfinder even when shooting at infinity.

How to use the AF Range Selector (Model 60E for Minolta) [2]

When the Selector ring is turned clockwise (viewing from the mount side), the AF operation rang is set from 2.5m to the selected distance, while it is set from the selected position to infinity when turned counter-clockwise.

Rotate the focusing ring to align the distance scale to the focus distance index line where you would like to set a limit in AF operation range. Loosen the AF Range Selector ring fixing screw a turn the Selector ring until it comes to a mechanical stop (please be sure to hold the focusing rin avoiding its simultaneous movement with the Selector ring.)

Tighten the AF Range Selector ring fixing screw after the above procedures are completed. For your information, the AF Range Selector is set to the infinity range when shipped from our factor
