Built-in Flash Units
When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in flash
unit, remove the lens hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created
En
where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash).

Vibration Reduction (VR)
Vibration reduction (VR) reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing
shutter speeds up to 4.0 stops slower than would otherwise be the case.
This increases the range of shutter speeds available and permits hand-
held, tripod-free photography in a wide range of situations. The effects of
VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera and Imaging
Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are measured
using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format
cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.
Using the Vibration Reduction ON/OFF Switch
Using the Vibration Reduction Mode Switch
The vibration reduction mode switch is used to select the vibration
reduction mode when vibration reduction is on.
16
Select ON to enable vibration reduction. Vibration reduction is
activated when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway, reducing the effects of camera shake for
improved framing and focus.
Select OFF to turn vibration reduction off.
Select NORMAL to reduce the effects of vibration when
photographing from a fixed position and in other
situations with comparatively little camera motion.
Select ACTIVE to reduce the effects of vibration when
shooting from a moving vehicle, while walking, and in
other situations with active camera motion.
