Notes on using vibration reduction
Nl
• After pressing the shutter-release button
halfway, wait until the image in the
It
viewfinder stabilizes before pressing the
Cz
shutter-release button the rest of the way
down.
Sk
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration
reduction mechanism, the image in the
Ck
viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter
is released. This is not a malfunction.

• 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.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod,
set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
to OFF. However, it is recommended that
the switch be set to ON when using the
camera on an unsecured tripod head or
with monopod.
