For the first time, customers can update the firmware in select Tamron lenses and customize the various lens functions as needed by simply attaching a TAMRON TAP-in Console and running the TAMRON TAP-in Utility software on their PC or Mac. Previously, firmware updates could only be performed at a TAMRON Customer Service Center. With the new accessory and an internet connection, customers can access a dedicated website and update the firmware themselves at any time and from anywhere. In addition, selected lenses can be customized by changing the various settings according to how the customer wants to use the lens (described below), making it even more versatile and user-friendly.

For zoom lenses with variable focal length ranges, the adjustments can be made for up to eight segments, which means that the focus adjustment can be combined for a total of 24 ranges. Lenses with a fixed focal length only have one segment, so adjustment is possible for the three distance ranges.

For Lens equipped with a focus limiter switch, the autofocus range can be adjusted as desired by setting the near and far limits. If the focus limiter switch has three positions, it is also possible to set the middle range. Only lens models equipped with the focus limiter function can be adjusted.
