User manual NIKON AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55MM F-3.5-5.6G VR ED

[. . . ] The following cameras are usable: 35mm SLR cameras: F6, F5, F100, F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/ N75-Series, F65-Series/N65-Series; Digital SLR cameras: D2-Series, D1-Series, D200, D100, D80, D70-Series, D50, D40 When using the lens with cameras other than those listed above, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to OFF to cancel the vibration reduction mode. With the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become depleted quickly if this switch is left ON. B) ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter release button is lightly pressed and also at the instant the shutter is released. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder while depressing the shutter release button, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are easier. [. . . ] 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. If you move the camera in a wide arc when taking panning shots, 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. Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the shutter. Do not turn the camera power OFF while the vibration reduction mode is in operation. Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering noise if the camera is shaken. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this. If the lens is removed from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in operation, the same thing may happen as stated above. just mount the lens to eliminate the chattering noise. With F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series, F65-Series/N6Series, D200, D100, D80, D70-Series, D50 and D40 cameras, 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. Detaching the hood While holding its base rather than its edge, turn the hood clockwise (as viewed from the camera side) to detach. Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens. Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result in a fire, or cause health problems. To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is recommended at all times. A lens hood also helps protect the front of the lens. When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps. When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene. Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction. [. . . ] also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
