New Functions Added to TAMRON Lens Utility Ver. 5.0 for Mobile Version

● Focus (FC)/Iris Marker Link

In addition to the conventional Focus Marker, markers can now be set on both the focus ring and the aperture ring. With the DFF (Digital Follow Focus) screen, you can shift them instantly to the preset positions with a single tap.

● Ring Stopper

This function lets you set an electronically controlled stopper for the focus and aperture rings, which helps prevent unintended over- or under-adjustment when operating them. With the DFF screen, you can manually control both rings at the same time with smooth, accurate operation.

● Selecting Focus and Aperture Rotation Angle

This function lets you set the rotation angle of the focus and aperture rings.

You can select the rotation angle according to the scene you are shooting in manual mode, allowing for operation that matches your creative intentions.

● Focus Time Lapse

This function works with the camera’s interval shooting, letting you create time-lapse videos while gradually shifting the focus position with ease.

● Astro Focus Lock (Astro FC-L) [Fine Adjustment]

This function helps reduce the hassle of focusing when shooting the night sky. You can fine-tune and save focus positions to match your shooting environment and intentions.

● Night Mode

The entire screen turns red and dims, reducing eye strain in low-light conditions and minimizing disturbance to other photographers around you.
