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

ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter- release button is pressed halfway 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. C)

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

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces more noticeable camera shake, such as that which occurs when taking pictures from a moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does not automatically distinguish panning from camera shake.
