harmful 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.

Attaching the Lens Hood

Align Hood attaching alignment mark (2) on the hood with the corresponding index mark

(5)on the lens. Press the hood lightly onto the hood attaching bayonet ring and then rotate it clockwise to secure. The lens hood will be secure when the mark “TAMRON O” is at the top.

*Improper attachment of the hood may cause large shadowed areas in your pictures.

Stowing lens hood on the lens

Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward the opening, then align the hood attaching index on the lens with the hood attaching indicator, “TAMRON O”, on the hood.

Turn the hood clockwise until the alignment mark is at the top to set it.

TRIPOD MOUNT

A001 comes with a tripod mount. When using a tripod, mount the lens to it using the tripod mount.

Changing the position of the camera horizontally and vertically

1.Turn the locking screw (15) on the tripod mount counter-clockwise to loosen.

2.Line up the tripod mount index (14) with the vertical index (16) or with the horizontal index (17).

3.Turn the locking screw (15) on the tripod mount clockwise to secure.

*When attaching or removing the tripod mount, be careful not to drop the camera and/or the lens.

*Be cautious when carrying the lens while lens is attached to the tripod mount.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING

-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, even when auto focus 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.

-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 the lenses applying an ordinary focusing system.

-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 of the built-in-flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel
