Tamron AF061P700, A020N Lens Hood, Attaching the lens hood, Stowing the lens hood, Depth of Field

LENS HOOD

A bayonet-type lens hood is provided as a standard accessory. We recommend shoot- ing 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 written below when your camera is equipped with a built-in flash.

*Attaching the lens hood

1.Align the index mark on the hood with the index mark on the lens. Place the hood onto the hood's attaching bayonet ring.

2.Turn the hood clockwise until it clicks. The index mark on the hood appears at the top when it is correctly attached.

*Pay particular attention to align the hood attaching indexes when using zoom lens- es including wide angle setting. (Ex. 35mm or wider). Improper attachment for wide- angle zoom lenses may cause large shadowed areas in your pictures.

*Stowing the lens hood

1.Detach and reverse lens hood. Then align the index mark on the hood with the index mark on the lens. Place the hood onto the hood's attaching bayonet ring.

2.Turn the hood clockwise until it clicks. The index mark on the hood appears at the top when correctly stowed.

DEPTH OF FIELD

With a camera equipped with a depth of field preview button or an aperture stop- down mechanism, the depth of field can be directly observed on the viewfinder screen of your camera. For the operational details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

**The optical design for A061 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 autofocus under some conditions.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING

*The Tamron lens employs an internal focusing system to achieve a remarkable mini- mum photographing distance of 0.4 to 0.49 meter (1.31 to 1.61 ft). Because of the characteristics of this optical design, the angles of view at distances other than infinity are wider than that of lenses applying an ordinary focusing system.
