ENGLISH
WARNING
• Do not place lens in direct sunlight or leave it in an extremely hot place such as inside a car. Doing
such could damage the internal parts of the lens or cause a fire.
• Always attach the lens cap whenever the lens is not in use.
• When attaching the lens to the camera, ensure that the lens has been properly attached to the
camera and firmly locked.
If the lens is not attached properly, it could be difficult to remove or it could fall off causing damage
or injury.
• Do not use this lens for any application other than photography.
• Do not carry around the lens while it is still attached to a tripod.
• Regarding the lens equipped with a connector port
1) Place the lens in a stable location when customizing the lens using the dedicated application
(TAMRON Lens Utility TM ). Make sure not to let it fall or impact the lens.
2) When connecting the lens to a computer, use a Tamron connection cable (sold separately).
3) Do not touch the connector port with your fingers or a metal object. Also, prevent dust or water
from adhering to the connector port. If the connector port is dirty, it may cause connection
problems.
• Tamron will not be responsible for damages caused by a failure, a fire, or other accidents that may
occur when using an accessory other than Tamron accessories. Note that in case of such damage,
repair of the Tamron lens will be charged since it is not covered by the warranty.
