Tamron SP 45 mm f/ 1.8 Di VC USD Lens Benutzerhandbuch

When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, please be careful with the 
camera shake. To reduce image blur, turn the VC (Vibration Compensation) 
switch on. 
To reduce image blur without using the VC function, follow the steps below.
To avoid camera shake, for the digital cameras, use an ISO setting of higher 
numbers and for the film cameras, use the film with high ISO numbers to 
obtain higher shutter speed. Using a tripod or monopod is also effective.
When hand-holding the camera to take pictures, stand still, with legs 
slightly apart, hold your elbows in firmly against your chest, and hold the 
camera firmly against your face. If possible, lean against something to 
steady yourself or place the camera on something to secure the hold. 
Especially when hand-holding your camera, you will be steadier if you 
hold your breath, while you press the shutter button gently and firmly.

When using the camera’s built-in flash, please be aware that the lens hood 
or lens barrel may block the light to cause vignetting on the image. When 
using the camera’s build-in flash, do not use a lens hood. Even without 
a lens hood, vignetting (arch shaped shadow) may appear if the light is 
blocked by the lens barrel, so it is advisable to use an optical flash unit (hot 
shoe or handle-mount type). The conditions; such as, the focal length and 
focusing distance cause the vignetting vary depending on the camera. It 
is recommended to test for vignetting at each focal length and focusing 
distance.

For safe operation be sure to carefully read the manual and the 

following cautions before using. After reading them, store them 

in a place where they can easily be reviewed whenever needed. 

In this manual, caution instructions are divided into the 

following two categories: 

This indicates instructions which if not heeded could lead to 

death or serious injury. 

This indicates instructions which if not heeded could lead to 

bodily injury or physical damage. 

(1) Do not look directly at the sun through the lens. Doing so 

could result in blindness. 

(2) Do not leave the lens within the reach of young children. 

The lens may fall and injure the child, and the strap may get 

wrapped around the child’s neck, resulting in suffocation. 

(1) Do not leave the lens in places exposed to direct sunlight. 

 

The light reflected off the lens may focus on a nearby 

object, and cause a fire. Place the lens cap on the lens 

whenever it is not in use. 

(2) When mounting the lens on the camera, make sure the lens 

and camera are properly set and securely locked. 

The lens may get stuck if it is not properly mounted, and if 

it is not securely locked, it may fall off, damaging the lens 

or camera or causing bodily injury.

(3) Do not modify or alter the lens. 

 

Doing so may result in damage to the lens or camera. 

(4) Mount the lens hood when taking photographs in order to 

eliminate harmful light rays. 

* The hood cannot be mounted when certain filters are 

installed. 

* Remove the hood if it causes shadows at the edges of the 

image when using a flash. 

(5) Do not place excessive loads on the lens when it is mounted 

on the camera. Such loads may damage the mount section 

on the lens and the camera. Large lenses tend to place a 

strong load on the mount section. Always hold the lens 

when operating and moving the camera. 

(6) The focus ring turns during the auto focus operation. Do not 

keep the focus ring from turning. Also, do not forcibly turn 

the focus ring by hand when in the auto focus mode. 

 

Doing so may damage the lens or the interior of the camera. 

(7) Do not use the lens except for the purpose of 

photographing.
