



Removing the rear cap of the lens. Align the Lens attachment mark 

⑪

 on the lens barrel with 

its counterpart on the camera mount and insert the lens.
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.

In case of a Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch 

⑩

 on the lens to AF (Fig. 

). In 

case of a Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set the focus mode to S, C or A, and 
then set the AF/MF switch 

⑩

 on the lens to AF. Press the shutter button halfway down while 

viewing through the camera’s viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will 
light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to 
photograph. 
In case of a Sony camera, switch the AF/MF switch 

⑩

 on the lens to AF (Fig. 

), and set the focus 

mode on the camera to Auto focus (AF). Press the shutter button halfway down while viewing 
through the camera’s viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light when 
lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph.

F013 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 

⑩

 on the lens to MF (Fig. 

). Focus 

manually rotating the focusing ring 

⑥

 while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder (Fig. 

). 

The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens is focused correctly.
In case of a Sony camera, switch the AF/MF switch 

⑩

 on the lens to MF (Fig. 

), and set the 

focus mode on the camera to Manual focus (MF). Focus manually rotating the focusing ring 

⑥

 

while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder (Fig. 

). The main subject in the viewfinder will be 

sharp when the lens is focused correctly.



 Even in the MF mode, when turning focusing ring 

⑥

 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 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. 



1)  Set the VC switch 

⑨

 on.

*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.





 Dimly lit locations



 Scenes where flash photography is forbidden



 Situations where your footing is uncertain



 Taking panning shots of a moving subject





 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. 

) and then rotate it clockwise to secure (Fig. 

). The lens hood 

will be secure when the mark is at the top (Fig. 

). When attaching the lens hood, hold the 

focus and zoom 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 

⑤

 on the lens with the alignment on the hood attaching indicator 

③

.

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

)



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.



Using with a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera will not be guaranteed.



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.
