Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF

switch (Fig. B)

ON: Vibration is 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: Vibration is not reduced.

Setting the vibration reduction mode switch

(Fig. C)

NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism

primarily reduces camera shake, making

smooth panning shots possible.

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism

reduces camera shake when taking pictures

and those from a moving vehicle. In this

mode, the lens does not automatically

distinguish panning from camera shake.

Set the vibration reduction mode switch to either

“NORMAL” or “ACTIVE”.
