• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the
viewfinder may become slightly blurred after releasing the shutter. This is not a
malfunction.
• Do not turn the camera power OFF or remove the lens from the camera while the
vibration reduction mode is in operation. (Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering
noise if the camera is shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON
again to correct this.)
• With F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series, F65-Seris/N65-Series, D200,
D100, D70-Series and D50 cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction
does not work while the built-in flash is recycling.
• When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch #
to [OFF]. However, set the switch to [ON] when using a tripod without securing the
tripod head, or when using a monopod.
• With AF cameras featuring an AF start (AF-ON) button, such as D2-Series, D200, F6 and
F5 models, vibration reduction will not operate even if the AF-ON button is depressed.
4. Depth of field
The depth-of-field indicators % are engraved beside the distance index line &. At
close distances, however, so little is in focus that it may be better to check the depth
of field table (on page 86). If your camera has a depth of field preview button or lever,
use it to check the depth of field in the viewfinder.
5. Focusing at a predetermined reproduction ratio
The reproduction ratio is the relation between the size of the image recorded on film
and the actual subject size. If, for example, the image on the focusing screen is one-
fifth the actual subject size, the reproduction ratio is 1:5.
To photograph at a predetermined reproduction ratio, use the following procedure:
1 Manually turn the focus ring until the desired reproduction ratio scale $ number is
aligned with the distance index line &.
2 Aim at the subject, then change your position, moving closer to or farther away from
the subject, until the image in the viewfinder sharpens.
To obtain the appropriate reproduction ratio for each focused distance, see the table
on page 86.
