Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway and also at
the instant the shutter is released. Because vibration
is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing
and exact framing of the subject are easier.
OFF: The effects of camera shake are not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to
ON and choose a vibration
reduction mode with the vibration reduction mode switch.
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces the effects of camera shake. The
effects of camera shake are also reduced
with horizontal and vertical panning.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces
the effects of camera shake, such as that
which occurs when taking pictures from
a moving vehicle, whether it be normal
or more intense camera shake. In this
mode, camera shake is not automatically
distinguished from panning motion.
Notes on using vibration reduction
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration
reduction function (p. 20), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
to OFF. With the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power
may become quickly depleted if this switch is left ON.
• 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.
