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. - Page 9 * When the built-in flash on the camera is used, adverse photographic phenom- ena such as corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may be observed. This is due to the inherent illumination of the coverage of the built-in flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel which causes shadows on image.
