•At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position is made with certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.

•For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

VC MECHANISM (Ref. Figs. 1, 7 & 8) (Mounted for Nikon & Canon models) VC (Vibration Compensation) is a mechanism which reduces the image blur caused by hand-held shooting. When using the VC, pictures can be taken at shutter speeds up to a maximum of 4 stops slower than the speed when the VC is not used.

*Based on the company’s standard measurement. Also, the correction of image blur differs depending on the conditions during picture taking and the person using the camera.

*How to use VC mechanism 1. Set the VC switch (12) on.

*When VC is not used, set the switch off.

2. Press the shutter button halfway to verify the effect of the VC. When the shutter button is pressed down halfway, it takes about 1 second for the VC to provide a stable image.

*The VC can be effective for hand-held shots under the following conditions:

-Dimly lit locations

-Scenes where flash photography is forbidden -Situations where footing is uncertain -Taking panning shots of a moving subject

*The VC may not be able to give full effect in the following cases: -When a photograph is taken from a fast moving vehicle -Shooting during the excessive movement of the camera

-Turn the VC switch OFF when taking pictures with the bulb setting or during long exposures. If the VC switch is ON, the VC mechanism may introduce errors.

•With the VC mechanism, there are occasions that the image in the viewfinder blurs right after the shutter button is pressed down halfway, but this is not a malfunction.

•When the VC switch is turned ON, the number of images recordable is reduced due to the power used from the camera.

•When the VC switch is turned ON, immediately after the shutter button is pushed halfway down and approximately 2 seconds after a finger releases the shutter button, the camera will “click”. This sound is the VC’s locking mechanism activating, it is not a malfunction.

•Turn the VC switch OFF when using a tripod.

•After releasing the shutter button, the VC will continue to operate for about 2 seconds until the locking mechanism activates.

•When the lens is removed from the camera while VC is activating, the lens may make a clicking sound when the lens is subjected to a jolt. This is not a malfunction. Re-attach the lens to the camera and turn the power ON. The sound should stop.

•The VC activates while the “release” button is pushed halfway down. (It is activated 2 seconds after the shutter button is released.)
