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 (pg. 15), 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.
• 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 to OFF . However, set the switch to ON when using a
tripod without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.
