Vibration reduction mode (VRII)

Jp

Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch

ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the

ON

OFF

En

shutter- release button is pressed halfway and also

at the instant the shutter is released. Because

vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/

De

manual focusing and exact framing of the subject

are easier.

Fr

OFF: The effects of camera shake are not reduced.

Notes on using vibration reduction

Es

By enabling vibration reduction (VR), slower shutter speeds

(approximately four stops*) can be used when shooting distance is

Sv

between and 2.6 m (the reproduction ratio from to 1/30×). The

higher the reproduction ratio from 1/30× is, the more the effects of

Ru

vibration reduction will decrease gradually. (*Based on results achieved

under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration

reduction may vary according to shooting conditions and use.)

Nl

After pressing the shutter-release button halfway, wait until the image

in the viewfinder stabilizes before pressing the shutter-release button

It

the rest of the way down.

Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the

Cz

image in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released.

This is not a malfunction.

Sk

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.

Ck

Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from the camera while

vibration reduction is operating. Failure to observe this note could

Ch

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

Kr

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.

With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON button, vibration

reduction does not function even when the AF-ON button is pressed.

When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction

ON/OFF switch a to OFF. However, set the switch to ON when using

a tripod without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.
