3. Vibration reduction mode (VR@) ■Basic concept of vibration reduction Number of vibrations Set the vibration reduction mode Camera shake switch to [NORMAL]. when taking pictures Set the vibration reduction mode Camera shake from a moving switch to [ACTIVE]. vehicle When taking pictures En Set the vibration reduction mode switch to either [NORMAL] or [ACTIVE] Panning shots When taking panning shots Set the vibration reduction mode switch to [NORMAL]. Strength of vibration When taking pictures from a moving vehicle Set the vibration reduction mode switch to [ACTIVE]. ■The effects of vibration reduction Pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR2 lens.(*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.) ■Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch 1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ( to [ON]. Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns ON with [ON] precisely. 2 Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are made easier. 3 To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ( to [OFF]. Indicator OFF ■Setting the vibration reduction mode switch & NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily reduces camera shake, making smooth panning shots possible. Indicator NORMAL ACTIVE 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. Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [NORMAL] or [ACTIVE] precisely. 18
