• 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.

• 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 camera is equipped with an 

AF-ON button, pressing 

the 

AF-ON button will not activate vibration reduction.

■ Aperture

Aperture is adjusted using camera controls.

Changes to zoom can alter the maximum aperture by up to 

2

/

3

EV. The camera however automatically takes this into 

account when setting exposure, and no modifications to 
camera settings are required following adjustments to zoom.

■ Built-in Flash Units

When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a 
built-in flash unit, remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting 
(shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the 
built-in flash).
