309Technical Notes

❚❚ Vibration Reduction (VR, AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR

Only)

When an AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR is mounted

on the camera, vibration reduction can be enabled or disabled

using the Optical VR option in the shooting menu (0 198). If On

is selected, vibration reduction will take effect whenever the

shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Vibration reduction

reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing shutter speeds

up to 4.0 stops slower than would otherwise be the case,

increasing the range of shutter speeds available. The effects of

VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera and

Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses

are measured using FX-format digital SLR cameras, DX-format

lenses using DX-format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at

maximum zoom.

D Vibration Reduction

• When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button

halfway and wait for the image in the viewfinder to stabilize before

pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.

• When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may

jiggle after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a

malfunction.

• 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.

• If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will

be disabled while the flash charges.

• Vibration reduction is generally recommended when the camera is

mounted on a tripod, although you may prefer to turn it off

depending on shooting conditions and the type of tripod.

• Vibration reduction is recommended when the camera is mounted

on a monopod.
