Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR User Manual page 19

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism
reduces the effects of camera shake, such as
that which occurs when taking pictures from
a moving vehicle, whether it be normal or
more intense camera shake. In this mode,
camera shake is not automatically
distinguished from panning motion.
Notes on using vibration reduction
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not
have the vibration reduction function (pg. 15),
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.
• 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.
