Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the
Jp
shutter-release button is pressed halfway and also at
the instant the shutter is released. Because vibration
En
is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing
and exact framing of the subject are easier.
De
OFF: The effects of camera shake are not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
Fr
Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to
ON and choose a vibration
reduction mode with the vibration reduction mode switch.
Es
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces the effects of camera shake. The
Se
effects of camera shake are also reduced
with horizontal and vertical panning.
Ru
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces
the effects of camera shake, such as that
Nl
which occurs when taking pictures from
a moving vehicle, whether it be normal
It
or more intense camera shake. In this
mode, camera shake is not automatically
Ck
distinguished from panning motion.
Notes on using vibration reduction
Ch
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration
reduction function (p. 20), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
Kr
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.
