Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway 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: The effects of camera shake are not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
SetthevibrationreductionON/OFFswitchtoON and choose a vibration
reduction mode with the vibration reduction mode switch.
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces the effects of camera shake. The effects
of camera shake are also reduced with horizontal
and vertical panning.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces
the effects of camera shake, such as that which
occurs when taking pictures from a moving
vehicle, whether it be normal or more intense
camerashake.Inthismode,camerashakeisnot
automatically distinguished from panning motion.
Notes on using vibration reduction

way down.
•Duetothecharacteristicsofthevibrationreductionmechanism,theimage
in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This is not a
malfunction.

sounding and feeling as if an internal component is loose or broken when it is
shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera on again to correct this.
•Withcamerasfeaturingabuilt-inflash,vibrationreductiondoesnotfunction

•Whenusingatripod,setthevibrationreductionON/OFFswitchto ON to
reduce the effect of camera shake. Nikon recommends the switch be set to
ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with a monopod.
But when camera shake is very slight, the vibration reduction function may
conversely increase the effect of camera shake by the movement of the system.
Insuchacase,setthevibrationreductionON/OFFswitchtoOFF.
