3. Vibration reduction mode (VR@)
■ Basic concept of vibration reduction
■ The effects of vibration reduction
Pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible
without using a VR2 lens.(*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of
vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)
■ Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ( to [ON].
Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns
with [ON] precisely.
2 Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is lightly
pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual
focusing and exact framing of the subject are made easier.
3 To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration
reduction ON/OFF switch ( to [OFF].
■Setting the vibration reduction mode switch &
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.
Note:Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with
[NORMAL] or [ACTIVE] precisely.
