• 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, it is recommended that the switch be
set to ON when using the camera on an
unsecured tripod head or with monopod.

• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON

button, vibration reduction does not function
when the AF-ON button is pressed.

Notes on using vibration reduction
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have

the vibration reduction function (pg. 14), 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.
