• 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.
Focusing, zooming, and depth of field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length until the desired
composition is framed. If your camera has a depth-of-field preview (stopdown)
button or lever, depth of field can be previewed through the camera viewfinder.
• This lens is equipped with the Internal Focusing (IF) system. As the shooting
distance decreases, the focal length also decreases.
• The distance scale does not indicate the precise distance between the subject
and the camera. Values are approximate and should be used only as a general
guide. When shooting distant landscapes, depth of field may influence
operation and the subject may appear be in focus at a position that is closer
than infinity.
• For more information, see p.170.
