Nikon 2179 Manual Do Utilizador

For more information on camera focus modes, refer to 
your camera’s User’s Manual.

Refer to “Notes on using wide- or super wide-angle AF 
Nikkor lenses” (P. 19).

By enabling vibration reduction (VR), slower shutter 
speeds (approximately three stops*) can be used. 
Panning is also supported.
(*Based on results achieved under Nikon measurement 
conditions. The effects of vibration reduction may vary 
according to shooting conditions and use.)

Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch b to 

ON.

Note: Be sure to set the switch b so that the 

indicator is precisely aligned with ON.

Camera shake is reduced when the shutter-release 

button is pressed halfway. Autofocus and manual 

focusing, as well as precise framing of the subject, 

are simplified because camera shake visible 

through the viewfinder is also reduced.

To disable vibration reduction, set the vibration 

reduction ON/OFF switch b to OFF.

• After pressing the shutter-release button halfway, 

wait until the image in the viewfinder stabilizes 
before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of 
the way down.

• If the camera is panned in a wide arc, compensation 

for camera shake in the panning direction is not 
performed. For example, when panning the camera 
in a horizontal direction, vertical camera shake is 
reduced. This stabilizes the image whilst allowing the 
desired panning effect to be realized.

• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction 

mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may be blurred 
after the shutter is released. This is not a malfunction.

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from 

the camera while vibration reduction is operating. 
Failure to observe this note could result in the lens 
sounding and feeling as if an internal component is 
loose or broken when it is shaken. This is not a 
malfunction. Turn the camera on again to correct this.

• With cameras such as D300 and D40-series models, 

featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not 
function while the built-in flash is charging.

• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the 

vibration reduction ON/OFF switch b to 

OFF. 

However, it is recommended that the switch be set to 

ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod 
head or with monopod.

• With autofocus cameras such as D2-series and D300 

models, featuring an AF-ON button, vibration 
reduction does not function when the AF-ON button 
is pressed.

Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.
