Basic concept of vibration reduction
When taking pictures
When taking panning shots
When taking pictures from
a moving vehicle
Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch (Fig. F)
ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter release button is lightly pressed 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: Vibration is not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch (Fig. G)
First, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ON, then select the following mode:
NORMAL:The vibration reduction mechanism primarily reduces camera shake, making
smooth panning shots possible.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camera shake when taking
pictures and those from a moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does not
automatically distinguish panning from camera shake.
