Notes on using vibration reduction
●
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.
●
When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch to NORMAL.
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 blurred after releasing the shutter.
●
Do not turn the camera power OFF 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.
●
If the lens is removed from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in
operation, the same thing may happen as stated above. Mount the lens and press the
shutter release button halfway to eliminate the chattering noise.
●
With F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series, F65-Series/N65-Series, D200,
D100, D70-Series and D50 cameras, vibration reduction does not work while the flash
is recycling.
●
When the lens 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.
●
If you set the AF start (AF-ON) button to ON on the body of cameras so equipped,
vibration reduction does not operate.
Focusing, zooming, and depth of field
First turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before
focusing. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth
of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder.
Setting the aperture
Because this lens does not have an aperture ring, you must set the aperture on the camera.
Taking flash pictures with cameras having built-in flash
When using the following cameras, check the focal length and shooting distance before
taking flash pictures to prevent vignetting since the light emitted from the flash may be
obstructed by the lens barrel.
