TAMRON Lens Utility™

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 Stopper

Focus range can be set with the lens alone during movie recording
Limit the MF travel range between any two focal points that have been recorded beforehand. It is easy to change and set the position of the focus stopper, you can create images without worry about 「Over Passing」the focal point.

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.
