D Vibration Reduction • When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway and wait for the image in the viewfinder to stabilize before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. • When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may jiggle after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a malfunction. • Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens while vibration reduction is in effect. If power to the lens is cut while vibration reduction is on, the lens may rattle when shaken. This is not a malfunction, and can be corrected by reattaching the lens and turning the camera on. • If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will be disabled while the flash charges. • ON is generally recommended when the camera is mounted on a monopod or a tripod with an unsecured head, although OFF may be preferred depending shooting conditions and the type of tripod. A The Vibration Reduction Mode Switch (AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR Lenses) The vibration reduction mode switch is used to select the vibration reduction mode when vibration reduction is on. • Select NORMAL to reduce the effects of vibration when photographing from a fixed position and in other situations with comparatively little camera motion. • Select ACTIVE to reduce the effects of vibration when shooting from a moving vehicle, while walking, and in other situations with active camera motion. Slide the vibration reduction mode switch to NORMAL for panning shots. When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to motion that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake), making it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in a wide arc. 379
