• When using a tripod, set the v ibration reduction ON/O FF ring switch to ON
to reduce the effect of camera shake. Nikon recommends the swi tch be set to
ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with a mono pod.
But when camera shake is very slight, the vibration reducti on function may
conversely increase the effect of ca mera shake by the movement of the system.
In such a case, set the vibration reduction ON /OFF ring switch to OFF.
• Vibration reductio n does not function when the AF-ON b utton on the camera
or a focus operation button on the lens is pressed.
