Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks. For Nikon models, align the lens attachment mark with the dot on the camera and rotate the
lens counter-clockwise until it click-locks.
Pressing the lens release button on the camera down, turn the lens counter-clockwise (in case of Nikon lens, clockwise), and lift the lens
off the camera's lens mount.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

Press the shutter button halfway down while viewing through the camera's viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will

F004 is equipped with the full-time manual function.
The full-time manual function is a function that the focus can be fine-tuned by the manual focus without switching the AF/MF changing
switch when taking a picture of auto focus.
How to use the full-time manual function
First, set the focus mode to "AF".
You can adjust focus manually while turning the focus ring in the shutter button is pressed lightly.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
In case of a Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch
selector dial, set the focus mode to M, and then set the AF/MF switch

picture is in focus.
At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position 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.
VC (Vibration Compensation) is a mechanism which reduces the image blur caused by hand-held shooting. When using the VC, pictures can
be taken at shutter speeds up to a maximum 4 stops slower than the speed when the VC is not used.
Based on the company's standard measurement. Also, the correction of image blur differs depending on the conditions during picture

taking and the person using the camera.
1) Set the VC switch

*When VC is not used, set the switch off.
2) Press the shutter button halfway to verify the effect of the VC.
When the shutter button is pressed down halfway, it takes about 1 second for the VC to provide a stable image.

When a photograph is taken from a fast movimg vehicle
Shooting during the excessive movement of the camera
When taking photographs using a tripod
Turn the VC switch OFF when taking pictures with the bulb setting or during long exposures. If the VC switch is ON, the VC mechanism
may introduce errors.
When the lens is removed from the camera while VC is activating, the lens may make clicking sound when the lens is subjected to a jolt. This is
not a malfunction.
The VC activates while the "release" button is pushed halfway down. (It is activated 2 seconds after the shutter button is released)
VC can be used in AF or MF mode.
A bayonet-type lens hood (referred to as "hood" below) 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 stated
in the next section when your camera is equipped with a built-in flash.
Align Hood attaching alignment mark ② on the hood with the corresponding index mark 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 (Fig.
lens hood will be secure when the mark "TAMRON
control rings so that they are not rotated unintentionally.
1) Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward the opening, then align the hood attaching index

When autofocus is set, the focusing operation can be accelerated by setting the focus limiter switch.
Set the focus limiter switch to "FULL".
Set the focus limiter switch to "0.3m-0.5m".
Set the focus limiter switch to "0.5m-∞"
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 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.
The Tamron lenses described here employ 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 close-up range. 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 or lens hood which causes shadows on the image. Always use
the built-in flash with the hood removed. It is strongly recommended to use a suitable separate flash unit provided by the camera
manufacturer for all flash photography, even when using the camera with the hood removed. For further details, please read the "built-in
flash" article on the instruction manual of your camera.
Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of the lens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to
the design of the camera and not an indication of an error.
Please be aware that there is no infrared index line on any models listed in this owner's manual, and therefore, practically, no black-and-
white infrared film can be used with these lenses.
Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or blower to remove dust from the lens element surface. When not
using the lens, always place a lens cap on it for protection.
Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to remove fingerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary
motion from the center to the edge.
Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.
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 silicagel, and change the agent
occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized repair shop or nearby photographic store.
Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or stains may cause a contact failure between the lens and camera.
When using your equipment [camera(s) and lens(es)] in an environment where the temperature changes from one extreme to the other,
make sure to put your equipment temporarily in a case or a plastic bag for a length of time in order for the equipment to go through a
gradual temperature shift. This will reduce potential equipment trouble.
