Vibration reduction mode (Fig. B)
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.
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.
• 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.
• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON
button, vibration reduction does not function
when the AF-ON button is pressed.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the
vibration reduction ON/OFF switch 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.
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have
the vibration reduction function (P.16), 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.
