while vibration reduction is on, the lens may rattle when

 

shaken. This is not a malfunction, and can be corrected by

 

reattaching the lens and turning the camera on.

 

If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will be disabled while the flash charges.

Turn vibration reduction off when the camera is securely mounted on a tripod, but leave it on if the tripod head is not secured or when using a monopod.

If the camera is equipped with an AF-ONbutton, pressing the AF-ONbutton will not activate vibration reduction.

Aperture

Aperture is adjusted using camera controls.

Zoom and Maximum Aperture

Changes to zoom can alter the maximum aperture by up to 2/3 EV. The camera however automatically takes this into account when setting exposure, and no modifications to camera settings are required following adjustments to zoom.

Built-in Flash Units

When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in flash unit, remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash).
