New Features in Version 5.0 (Mobile Version)
TAMRON Lens Utility™ Ver. 5.0 introduces powerful new tools to support greater precision and flexibility when shooting:
Focus (FC) / Iris Marker Link
Markers can now be set on both the focus ring and aperture ring, allowing instant shifts to preset positions with a single tap via the Digital Follow Focus (DFF) screen.
Ring Stopper
An electronically controlled stopper can be set for focus and aperture rings, helping prevent unintended adjustments and enabling smoother, more accurate operation.
Adjustable Rotation Angle
Users can now select the rotation angle of the focus and aperture rings, allowing manual operation to better match different shooting styles and creative needs.
Focus Time Lapse
This feature works with a camera’s interval shooting function, enabling time-lapse videos while gradually shifting focus position automatically.
Astro Focus Lock (Fine Adjustment)
Designed for night sky photography, this function allows users to fine-tune and save focus positions for more efficient astrophotography shooting.
Night Mode
A red, dimmed display mode reduces eye strain in low-light environments and helps minimise disturbance to others when shooting at night.
