AF-S

18-105
mm
f/3.s-s.6G
VR
lenses support vibration reduction
(VR),
which reduces blur caused by camera shake even when the camera
is
panned,
allowing shutter speeds
to
be slowed by approximately 3
EV
at a focal length
of
105
mm
(Nikon measurements; effects vary
with
the user and shooting conditions).
To
use
vibration reduction, slide the
VR
switch
to
ON.
Vibration reduction
is
activated when the shutter-release
button
is
pressed halfway, reducing the effects
of
camera
shake on the image in the viewfinder and simplifying the
process
of
framing the subject and focusing in both
autofocus and manual modes. 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 awide
arc.
Vibration reduction
can
be turned
off
by sliding the
VR
switch
to
OFF.
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.

CPU
Lenses with Aperture Rings
In
the
case
of
CPU
lenses equipped
with
an
aperture ring (pg. 228), lock aperture at the
minimum
setting (highest f-number).
See
the
lens manual for details.

Vibration Reduction
Do
not
turn
the
camera
off
or
remove the lens while vibration reduction
is
in effect. Ifpower
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.
Vibration reduction
is
disabled while the built-in flash
is
charging. When vibration reduction
is
active, the image in
the
viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter
is
released. This does
not
indicate a malfunction.
