Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
ON: Vibration is 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: Vibration is not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
First, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ON , then select the
following mode:
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces camera shake, making smooth
panning shots possible.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces
more noticeable camera shake, such as that
which occurs when taking pictures from a
moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does
not automatically distinguish panning from
camera shake.
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, 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.
• 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.
