Using the focus limit switch (Fig. B)
In the autofocus or manual focus mode, depending on the shooting distance, you can
use this switch to limit the range of focus and reduce focusing time. The focus limit
switch cannot be set at a position between approx. 3.5m (11.5 ft.) and 5m (16.4 ft.).
Vibration reduction mode (Fig. C)
The following cameras are usable:
•35mm SLR cameras: F5, F100, F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series,
F65-Series/N65-Series
•Digital cameras: D2H, D1-Series and D100
When using the lens with cameras other than those listed above, set the vibration
reduction mode 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.

Vibration is reduced at the instant the shutter is released and also while
the shutter release button is lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced
in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject
are easier.
Vibration is reduced only at the instant the shutter is released. In this
mode, vibration of the image in the viewfinder is not reduced while the
shutter release button is pressed lightly.
Vibration is not reduced.
Mode 1
Mode 2
•In Mode 1 and Mode 2, wait at least one second before fully depressing the shutter
release button after lightly pressing the shutter button. In Mode 1, it’s recommended to
release the shutter after the image in the viewfinder has stopped vibrating.
•The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camera shake. However, if you move
the camera quickly, vibration in the direction of that movement may not be affected.
For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical
direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier.
•Characteristic of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder
may blur after releasing the shutter.
