■Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch (Fig. F)

ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter release button is lightly pressed and also at the instant the shutter is released. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are easier.

OFF: Vibration is not reduced.

■Setting the vibration reduction mode switch (Fig. G)

First, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ON, then select the following mode:

NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily reduces camera shake, making smooth panning shots possible.

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camera shake when taking pictures and those from a moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does not automatically distinguish panning from camera shake.
