the indicator is precisely aligned with ON.

Autofocus and manual focusing, as well as
precise framing of the subject, are
simplified because camera shake visible
through the viewfinder is also reduced.

Notes on using vibration reduction

Fr
• After pressing the shutter-release button
Es
halfway, wait until the image in the viewfinder
Se
stabilizes before pressing the shutter-release
Ru
button the rest of the way down.
• If the camera is panned in a wide arc,
Nl
compensation for camera shake in the panning
It
direction is not performed. For example, when
Ck
panning the camera in a horizontal direction,
Ch
vertical camera shake is reduced. This stabilizes
the image whilst allowing the desired panning
Kr
effect to be realized.

• 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.
• 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 such as D300 and D40-series
models, 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 b 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 such as D2-series and
D300 models, featuring an AF-ON button,
vibration reduction does not function when the
AF-ON button is pressed.
