DEPTH OF FIELD
With a camera equipped with a depth of field preview button or a aperture stop
down mechanism, the depth of field can be directly observed through the
viewfinder screen of your camera.
**
The optical design for this lens takes into consideration the various features of
digital single reflex cameras. However, due to the configuration of the digital
single reflex cameras, even when the autofocus accuracy is within specifications,
the focal point may be a little forward or behind the optimum point when
shooting with autofocus under some conditions.
PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING
*
The Tamron lens, SP AF200-500mm (Model A08) employs an internal focusing
[IF] system to achieve a remarkable minimum object distance of 2.5 meters
(8.20 feet). Because of the characteristics of this optical design, the angles of
view at distances other than infinity are wider than that of the lenses applying
an ordinary focusing system.
