4. Vibration reduction mode
(See page 16 for usable cameras.)
■Basic concept of vibration reduction
■Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch (Fig. F)
ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter release button is lightly pressed 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. G)
First, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ON, then select the following mode:
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.
