■Notes on using vibration reduction • Wait until the image in the viewfinder stops vibrating before fully depressing the shutter release button after you have lightly pressed the shutter release button. • When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch to [NORMAL]. If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in the direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier. En • Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the shutter. This is not a malfunction. • Do not turn the camera power OFF or remove the lens from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in operation. (Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering noise if the camera is shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this.) • With F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series, F65-Seris/N65-Series, D200, D100, D70-Series and D50 cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not work while the built-in flash is recycling. • When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ( to [OFF]. However, set the switch to [ON] when using a tripod without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod. • With AF cameras featuring an AF start (AF-ON) button, such as D2-Series, D200, F6 and F5 models, vibration reduction will not operate even if the AF-ON button is depressed. 4. Focusing, zooming, and depth of field (p.84) First turn the zoom ring 5 until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before focusing. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder. 5. Variable maximum apertures Zooming the lens from 70mm to 300mm decreases the maximum aperture approx. 2/3 of an f/stop. For cameras with TTL metering, there is no need to adjust the aperture. Likewise, for TTL auto flash photography with Nikon Speedlights, no adjustment is required. When using a separate exposure meter or taking photographs in the non-TTL flash mode, select the appropriate aperture value according to the focal length setting as displayed on the camera. 19
