Commack, NY—Tamron announced the development of the Tamron Lens Utility Mobile. It is a dedicated application for smartphones and tablets running the Android OS. The app enables use in the field as well as expands the possibilities of video and still photography.
Furthermore, the application is the mobile version of the Tamron Lens Utility PC software. The Tamron Lens Utility Mobile will launch later this year.
Tamron Lens Utility Mobile
October 2021 marked the release of the Tamron Lens Utility software. The dedicated PC software enables the customization of various functions of select Tamron lenses to match the video and still photography style of the user.
Since then, the company has received feedback regarding improved convenience from customers wishing to make lens function customizations when shooting in the field. As a result, Tamron is developing the Tamron Lens Utility Mobile for Android OS (compatible OS Android 6-12).
As a result, using the optional Tamron connection cable, users can connect an Android smart device to their lens to configure lens customizations without requiring a computer.
In addition, a new function that enables lens operations to be controlled from a smartphone was added. For example, users can now set up the A-B focus function that shifts the focus from one preselected subject to another without touching the lens.
Tethered Remote Control
What’s more, the app has dedicated features developed for the smartphone that enable tethered control. Users can configure these features with the remote set button in the application.
- A-B Focus: Set two focus positions (A and B) and make the focus shift between A and B
- Focus Preset: Set a desired focus position and move the focus to the recorded point by a single tap of the remote set button.

Users can also use the custom switch or focus set button (normal functions available with the pc version) to customize various settings.
- A-B Focus: Set two focus positions (A and B) and make the focus shift between A and B
- Focus Preset: Set a desired focus position and move the focus to the recorded point by a single press of the focus set button
