Notes on using vibration reduction

•After pressing the shutter-release button halfway, wait until the image in the viewfinder stabilizes before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.

•When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch to NORMAL.

•If the camera is panned in a wide arc, compensation for camera shake in the panning direction is not performed. For example, when panning the camera in a horizontal direction, vertical camera shake is reduced. This stabilizes the image whilst allowing the desired panning effect to be realized.

•Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This is not a malfunction.

•Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from the camera while vibration reduction is operating. Failure to observe this note could result in the lens sounding and feeling as if an internal component is loose or broken when it is shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera on again to correct this.

•With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not function while the built-in flash is charging.

•When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch e to OFF. However, it is recommended that the switch be set to ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with monopod.

•With autofocus cameras such as D2-series and D300 models, featuring an AF-ON button, vibration

reduction does not function when the AF-ON button

 

is pressed.
