Notes on using vibration reduction
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration reduction
Ck
function (p. 20), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to OFF. With
the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become quickly
Ch
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
Kr
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.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from the camera while vibration
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.

ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway 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: The effects of camera shake are not reduced.
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces the effects of camera shake. The effects of
camera shake are also reduced with horizontal and
vertical panning.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces the
effects of camera shake, such as that which occurs
when taking pictures from a moving vehicle,
whether it be normal or more intense camera shake.
In this mode, camera shake is not automatically
distinguished from panning motion.
