Vibration reduction mode (VR@)■Basic concept of vibration reduction■The effects of vibration reductionPictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops* slower than is possiblewithout using a VR2 lens.(*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects ofvibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)■Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ( to [ON].Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator alignswith [ON] precisely.2 Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is lightlypressed. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manualfocusing and exact framing of the subject are made easier.3 To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibrationreduction ON/OFF switch ( to [OFF].■Setting the vibration reduction mode switch &NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily reducescamera shake, making smooth panning shotspossible.ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camerashake when taking pictures and those from a movingvehicle. In this mode, the lens does not automaticallydistinguish panning from camera shake.Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with[NORMAL] or [ACTIVE] precisely.ON OFFIndicatorNORMAL ACTIVEIndicator
