•Do not turn the camera power OFF while the vibration reduction mode is in operation. Otherwise the lens may emit a chattering noise when it is moved quickly. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this.

•If the lens is removed from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in operation, the same thing may happen as stated above. Mount the lens and press the shutter release button halfway to eliminate the chattering noise.

•When the shutter release button is lightly pressed, the vibration reduction mode

does not work with F80-Series/N80-Series or F65-Series/N65-Series cameras E while the camera's built-in Speedlight is recycling.

•When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction mode switch

to OFF. Set the vibration reduction mode switch to ON, when using a monopod or if the lens is mounted on a tripod without the head being locked in place.

•This mode may be less effective when pictures are taken from a moving vehicle. •The vibration reduction mode does not work when the AF start (AF-ON) button is

turned on with cameras so equipped.

Focusing, zooming, and depth of field

(Refer to Quick reference charts 1 and 2 on page 70.)

In the A (autofocus) mode, first turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before autofocusing. In the M (manual focus) mode, focusing is possible at any focal length, but the longer the focal length, the larger the image and the shallower the depth of field, making focusing easier. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder. It is possible to determine depth of field by using the scale provided on page 70.

To use the depth-of-field scale:

1Cut out the scales along the lines indicated.

2Place scale 2 over scale 1 so the top edge of scale 2 is aligned with the

focal length in use and the distance is aligned with the central indicator line of scale 1.

3Read the scale 2 numbers that correspond to the aperture in use.

For example, if the lens is focused at 4m with the focal length at 105mm and the aperture at f/22, the depth of field will be approx. 3.3m to 5.5m (10.8 to 18 ft.).

Minimum aperture lock (Fig. D)

Use the minimum aperture lock lever to lock the lens aperture at f/32.

1Set the lens to its minimum aperture (f/32) by aligning it with the aperture index.

2Slide the lock lever toward the aperture ring, so the two orange dots are aligned. To release the lock, slide the lever in the opposite direction.
