For Sony E / FUJIFILM X
To compensate for the vibrations, set the VC (Vibration Compensation) switch ⑲ to ON. (Ref. Fig. 5)
Switching the modes (Ref. Fig. 6)
You can switch the modes by using the VC mode switch ⑳.
MODE 1 Basic vibration compensation mode
MODE 2 Panning mode
MODE 3 Mode that prioritizes framing. Makes it easier to maintain subjects moving quickly within the frame.
* MODE 1 and MODE 3 do not support panning.
For Nikon Z
For vibration compensation, the lens do not have a switch for vibration compensation, please activate the function from the camera
body.
z Vibration compensation is effective under the following conditions
• Dimly lit locations
• Locations where flash photography is prohibited
• Locations where tripod cannot be used
z Vibrations may not be compensated sufficiently under the following conditions
• When a photograph is taken from a vehicle that is shaking greatly
• Shooting during excessive movement of the camera
• When shooting while using a tripod
• Set the VC switch ⑲ to OFF when taking pictures with bulb photography (long exposures). Otherwise, vibration compensation may
cause a malfunction. (For Nikon Z, the lens do not have a switch for vibration compensation, please activate the function from the
camera body)
• When MODE 1 or MODE 2 is set (For Sony E / FUJIFILM X), the viewfinder image may become blurred immediately after
the shutter button is pressed halfway. This is due to the principles of the vibration compensation mechanism and not a
malfunction. (For Sony E / FUJIFILM X / Nikon Z)
• When MODE 3 is set, the viewfinder image may become blurred even without touching the shutter button in the case the
camera is turned on with the VC switch ⑲ set to ON. This is due to the principles of the vibration compensation mechanism and
not a malfunction. (For Sony E / FUJIFILM X)
• Set the VC switch ⑲ to OFF when you are shooting while the camera is secured by something other than your hand (such as
a tripod). (For Nikon Z, the lens do not have a switch for vibration compensation, please activate the function from the camera
body)
• You may feel the lens rattle when the camera is turned off or when the lens is removed from the camera. This is not a
malfunction.
• For details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
