7. Vibration reduction mode
1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to
"ON" 2, while pressing the button on the ring
switch 1 (Fig. 7).
2 Set the Vibration reduction mode switch (Fig. 8) to
"NORMAL" or "TRIPOD".
• Image Vibration in the viewfinder can be reduced
by softly pressing the shutter release button,
making auto/manual focusing and exact framing
of the subject easier.
Notes on using vibration reduction
• Wait until the image in the viewfinder stops vibrating before fully
depressing the shutter release button after you have lightly pressed
the shutter release button.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the
image in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the
shutter.
• Set the vibration reduction mode switch to "TRIPOD" to reduce
camera shake and image shake in the viewfinder while using a
tripod. Very slight camera shake may fail to activate the vibration
reduction system. Conversely, the VR system may cause camera
shake in the lens. In this case, vibration reduction should be turned
off. When using a tripod with an untightened head or a monopod,
select NORMAL mode.
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction
mode switch (Fig. 8) to "NORMAL".
• If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in the
direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan
the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is
reduced, making smooth pans much easier.
• Do not turn the camera power OFF or remove the lens from the
camera while the vibration reduction mode is in operation.
(Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering noise if the camera is
shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again
to correct this.)
• With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not
function while the built-in flash is charging.
