• Vibration Reduction (VR)
Vibration reduction (VR) reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing
shutter speeds up to 4.0 stops slower than would otherwise be the case.
This increases the range of shutter speeds available and permits hand-held,
tripod-free photography in a wide range of situations. The effects ofVR on
shutter speed are measured according to Camera and Imaging Products As-
sociation (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are measured using FX-format
digital cameras, OX-format lenses using OX-format cameras. Zoom lenses
are measured at maximum zoom.
Using the Vibration Reduction ON/OFF Switch
t'lN<>if'lP:I=<il
• Select
ON
to enable vibration reduction. Vibration reduction is
activated when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,
reducing the effects of camera shake for improved framing
and focus.
• Select
OFF
to turn vibration reduction off.
Using Vibration Reduction: Notes
• When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway
and wait for the image in the viewfinder to stabilize before pressing the
shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
• When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may be
blurred after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to motion
that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for ex-
ample, vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake), making
it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in a wide arc.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens while vibration reduction
is in effect.
• If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will be
disabled while the flash charges.
• Select
OFF
when the camera is mounted on a tripod unless the tripod
head is unsecured or the camera is mounted on a monopod, in which
case
ON
is recommended.
• The Optional Lens Hood
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would otherwise
cause flare or ghosting.
Attaching the Hood

Align the lens hood mounting mark
(e)
with the lens hood alignment
mark
(r)
and then rotate the hood
(8)
until the
e
mark is aligned with
the lens hood lock mark
(-0).
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the
r
symbol on its
base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is
not correctly attached.
The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use. When
the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it while
holding it near the lock mark
(-0).
