TAMRON Lens Utility Update Announcement

February 19, 2026 – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shogo Sakuraba; Headquarters: Saitama City, Japan; “TAMRON”), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces an update to its proprietary application TAMRON Lens Utility^TM (Mobile/PC version) that supports video and still photography.

This update introduces a variety of new functions and enhances existing features to support a more comfortable and creative shooting experience.

The software version will be updated from the current Ver. 4.0 to Ver. 5.0 and will be available for download starting February 19, 2026.

• 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.
