• 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, it is recommended that

the switch be set to

when using the

camera on an unsecured tripod head or
with monopod.

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.
