manually rotating the focusing ring while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder. The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens is focused correctly.

*Even in the MF mode while turning the focusing ring while pressing the shutter button halfway, the focus aid function lamp lights up when the picture is in focus.

*At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position on the B001 is made with certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.

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

ZOOMING

Rotate the zooming ring of the lens while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder and compose your image at the chosen focal length.

LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE

Please follow the instruction manual of your camera.

LENS HOOD

A bayonet-type lens hood is provided as standard equipment. We recommend shooting 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 IN SHOOTING” when your camera is equipped with a built-in-flash.

Attaching the Lens Hood (Fig 5 & 6)

Align the hood attaching alignment mark (2) on the hood with the corresponding hood attaching bayonet ring (5) (or the top of the index line of the distance scale) 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 securely held as the mark “TAMRON O” comes to the top.

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

Stowing the Lens Hood on the Lens (Fig 7)

Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward the opening, then align the hood attachment mark on the lens with the “TAMRON O” alignment on the hood.

Turn the hood clockwise until the alignment mark is at the top to set it. (Fig 7)

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING

-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 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.

-When photographing near the minimum focusing distance it is advisable to shoot at higher f-numbers to obtain sharper image quality.
