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.
• 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, when panning the camera
in a horizontal direction, vertical camera shake is
reduced. This stabilizes the image whilst allowing the
desired panning effect to be realized.
• 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.
• 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.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the
vibration reduction ON/OFF switch e to OFF.
However, it is recommended that the switch be set to
ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod
head or with monopod.
• With autofocus cameras such as D2-series and D300
models, featuring an AF-ON button, vibration
reduction does not function when the AF-ON button
is pressed.
Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.
Variable maximum apertures
Zooming the lens from 16mm to 85mm decreases the
maximum aperture by 1
1
/ 3 stop.
However, the camera will compensate for any change
in aperture by adjusting the shutter speed so as to
maintain the correct exposure value.
