A-B Focus

Lets you smoothly and easily shift focus from one subject to another
This function allows you to shift focus at a preset speed, as is frequently done when recording video. Get exactly the kind of visual expression you want, for example, by slowly shifting the focus from a distant subject to one closer to you, or by guiding the gaze of the person viewing the video. Use the Focus Set Button or Remote Set Button to record two preset focal points in advance. Afterwards, a simple press allows you to shoot while moving focus automatically and at a set speed; you don't have to worry about the speed blur associated with manual focus, and you can achieve stable visual expression.

Focus Preset

Move focus to a prerecorded focal point with one press
This function allows you to preset focal points, for example, to deliberately defocus a subject during a video transition or to access a focal point for night photography. You can set the focus travel time when recording video. You can also set focus on a preset focal point at maximum speed with a single press when taking still photographs. This feature broadens the range of your visual expression.

[NEW]Focus Limiter

Choose the focus search range to best suit your photography situation
The Focus Limiter helps you to avoid accidental focus on a subject, for example when there is something located in front of your subject.
By limiting the focus range, when the focus moves unintentionally you can quickly focus back to your subject again.

TAMRON's unique functions
- Focus search range between Full <=> Limit can be switched easily by pressing the Focus Set Button
- There are choices to momentarily limit or free the focus search range
- Focus limit distance setting can be customized to suite your needs (* Limit settings will differ between lenses with this feature)

* Please download and use the latest version of the software.

Focus Ring Function Setting

Makes manual focus easier to use
[MF Method]
This function adjusts focus movement when using manual focus. You can choose between "Non-linear," where the amount of focal point movement changes based on how fast you rotate the focus ring, and "Linear," where the focal point moves based on how much you rotate the focus ring. Some lenses allow users to adjust rotation as well, to offer more personalization.

Other Functions:

Switch function from focus adjustment to aperture adjustment
This changes the Focus Ring Function from focus adjustment to aperture adjustment using the Focus Set Button.
