The effects of vibration reduction
• When the subject is from infinity (
∞
) to approx. 3m (9.8 ft) away (at 1/30x
reproduction ratio), pictures can be taken at shutter speeds 3 stops*
slower than is possible without using a VR lens. As the reproduction ratio
increases from 1/30x, the effects of vibration reduction gradually decrease.
(*The effects of VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera
and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are
measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-
format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.)

Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
1
Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
#
to [ON].
Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator
aligns with [ON] precisely.
2
Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is
lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the
viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are
made easier.
3
To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration reduction
ON/OFF switch
#
to [OFF].

Notes on using vibration reduction mode
• 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.
• 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.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image
in the viewfinder may become slightly blurred after releasing the shutter.
This is not a malfunction.
• 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.)
