We do not guarantee the performance of the tele converters which are manufactured by the other companies when you use them with our lenses.
VC (Vibration Compensation)
-
VC may work incorrectly with not hand-held shooting (e.g. the camera is fixed on a tripod or monopod), so it should be switched off.
-
VC can be turned on and used even when panning.
- It may not be panning depending on the shooting conditions, so it should be switched off.
- Some of our lenses can be used for panning by setting the VC mode switch to MODE 2 (Panning mode).
TAMRON Terminology
-
TAMRON Lenses are divided into the following three series;
-
Di series:
For full-frame Digital SLR Cameras -
Di II series:
For APS-C Digital SLR Cameras - Di III series:
For Mirrorless Cameras
- Lenses for APS-C Mirrorless cameras which were launched after Janurary 2021, "Di III-A" is included in the lens name.
For more information about the compatibility between TAMRON Lenses and cameras, please refer to the following page;
-
Di series:
-
Zoom lenses with macro capability are geared towards the image quality of general shooting, while still enabling easy close-up shooting with their macro capability.
Troubleshooting
-
The focal length is specified at an infinite shooting distance and its angle of view (AOV) at an infinite distance is the same as other lenses. AOV at closer distance depends on the mechanical focus design of the lens. An IF (Internal Focus) lens tends to give a wider AOV.
-
his phenomenon, during close-distance shooting with a macro lens, is not a lens defect, but is a camera characteristic. Macro lenses apply an exposure magnification ratio during close-distance shooting. Usually this value is not displayed, but is just used internally to determine the exposure. However, Nikon cameras show the actual aperture value, so the maximum aperture value displayed on the camera is sometimes smaller than designated on the lens.
-
The structure of all-in-one zoom lenses with significant telescopic motion is such that zoom creep is unavoidable during their use.
We recommend that you use the "zoom lock switch". -
It is quite common for fine particles of dust on, or in front of, the camera's internal imaging sensor to show up in the photo. They are not caused by the lens in any of the following circumstances.
- The flaws appear in the same place even when the focus or zoom is changed.
- The flaws are blurred when the photo is shot with an open aperture, but appear clearly when the aperture is closed.
- The flaws do not appear when another camera is used. Or they appear in a different place.
-
The phenomenon of the display shaking when VC starts and ends is a normal part of VC's operation and is therefore not abnormal.
* Model B018 uses an electromagnetic lock method locking the VC lens in the center of optical system using electric power supplied by the camera.
Therefore, when the camera power is turned on or the shutter button is pressed halfway, the viewfinder image will move but is not a malfunction.When shooting with the camera fixed on a tripod, turn on the camera power and decide the composition with the shutter button pressed halfway. -
When a lens is removed from a camera while VC is active, such as the lens is released from the camera immediately after the shutter was released, a rattling sound will happen.
Please attach the lens to the camera again, and there will be no sound. -
The Model A022 (150-600mm G2) and the Model A057 (150-500mm) has the "FLEX-ZOOM LOCK MECHANISM". The mechanism is intended to stop the lens from zooming inadvertently at any position. Rotate the zooming ring to the zoom position, and then apply the lock after you have determined the position.
- Setting the zoom lock: Move the zooming ring to the subject side until the white mark is visible.
- Releasing the zoom lock: Move the zooming ring to the camera side.
-
There may be a temporary poor contact between the camera and the lens.
Please clean the contacts of the camera and the lens with a clean cloth or silicone cloth and try again.If the problem cannot be resolved, there may be a problem with the lens.
