Notes on using vibration reduction
• After pressing the shutter-release button halfway,
wait until the image in the viewfinder stabilizes
before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of
the way down.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction
mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may be
blurred after the shutter is released. This is not a
malfunction.
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the
vibration reduction mode switch to NORMAL.
If the camera is panned in a wide arc, compensation
for camera shake in the panning direction is not
performed. For example, only the effects of vertical
camera shake is reduced with horizontal panning.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from
the camera while vibration reduction is operating.
Failure to observe this note could result in the lens
sounding and feeling as if an internal component is
loose or broken when it is shaken. This is not a
malfunction. Turn the camera on again to correct this.
• With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration
reduction does not function while the built-in flash is
charging.
• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON button,
vibration reduction does not function even when the
AF-ON button is pressed.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the
vibration reduction ON/OFF switch e to OFF.
However, set the switch to ON when using a tripod
without securing the tripod head, or when using a
monopod.
