[. . . ] Viewing the sun or other bright light source through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment. Failure to observe this precaution could result in injury. € Observe the following precautions when handling the lens and camera: - Keep the lens and camera dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock. [. . . ] Vibration reduction (VRII) reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing shutter speeds up to four stops slower than would otherwise be the case (Nikon measurements; effects vary with the photographer and shooting conditions). This increases the range of shutter speeds available and permits hand-held, tripod-free photography in a wide range of situations. – Vibration Reduction (VRII) Jp En De Fr Es Sv Ru Nl Pt Pb It Cz Sk Ro Ua Ck Ch Kr Id 17 Jp En De Fr Es Sv Ru Nl Pt Pb It Cz Sk Ro Ua Ck Ch Kr Id 18 Choose from NORMAL and ACTIVE vibration reduction according to the frequency and amplitude of the vibration.

Vibration reduction is activated when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, reducing the effects of camera shake for improved framing and focus. Using the Vibration Reduction Mode Switch The vibration reduction mode switch is used to select the vibration reduction mode when vibration reduction is on. Select NORMAL to reduce vibration caused by camera shake or when panning the camera. Select ACTIVE to reduce vibration caused by camera shake or when shooting from a moving car, boat, or other unstable platform. Using Vibration Reduction: Notes • 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 be blurred after the shutter is released. € 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. € 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. € If the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, pressing the AF-ON button will not activate vibration reduction. € Turn vibration reduction off when the camera is securely mounted on a tripod, but leave it on if the tripod head is not secured or when using a monopod.

If the focus point contains both foreground and background objects, the camera may focus on the background and the subject may be out of focus. [. . . ]
