Nikon 28-300mm-f-35-56G-ED-AF-S-VR-Zoom: Setting the vibration reduction mode switch Notes on using vibration reduction

Setting the vibration reduction mode switch

Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to ON and choose a vibration

reduction mode with the vibration reduction mode switch.

Jp

NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily

reduces the effects of camera shake. The effects

En

of camera shake are also reduced with horizontal

and vertical panning.

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces

De

the effects of camera shake, such as that which

occurs when taking pictures from a moving

Fr

vehicle, whether it be normal or more intense

camera shake. In this mode, camera shake is not

automatically distinguished from panning motion.

Es

Notes on using vibration reduction

• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration reduction

Se

function (pg. 14), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to OFF. With

the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become quickly

Ru

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

Nl

way down.

• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image

It

in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This is not a

malfunction.

Ck

• 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

Ch

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

Kr

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, set the switch to ON when using a tripod without

securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.

• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON button, vibration reduction does

not function when the AF-ON button is pressed.
