Owner's Manual

• 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.
• Slide the vibration reduction switch to
OFF for long time-
exposures.
• 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 mono pod.
II The Lens Hood
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that
would otherwise cause flare or ghosting.

Align the lens hood lock mark (-0)
with the lens hood mounting mark
"'" r•J on the lens (C}).
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the r
symbol on its base and avoid gripping it too tightly.
Vignetting may occur
if the hood is not correctly attached.
The hood
can be reversed and mounted on the lens when
not in use. When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and
removed by rotating
it while holding it near the lock mark
{-0).
