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
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 attach-
ment 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)
