Using the Lens on Cameras with a Built-in Flash
Shadows will be visible in photos where the light from the built-in flash
is obscured by the lens or lens hood. Remove the lens hood before
shooting. Note, however, that even if the hood is removed, shadows
may still be visible at some focal lengths and subject distances.

Vibration Reduction (VR)
The lens’s on-board vibration reduction can be enabled or disabled us-
ing camera controls; see the camera manual for details. With [Normal]
selected for the on-camera vibration reduction option, vibration reduc-
tion allows speeds up to 4.5 stops

slower than would otherwise be the
case, expanding the range of shutter speeds available.
* Measured according to CIPA standards. Values for lenses that support FX
format are measured on FX -format mirrorless cameras, those for DX lens-
es on DX-format mirrorless cameras. Values for zoom lenses are measured
at maximum zoom.

Vibration Reduction
• Due to the design of the vibration reduction system, the lens may rattle when shaken. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
• To reduce blur caused by tripod shake, select [Normal] or [Sport] for the on-camera vi-
bration reduction option when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Note, however, that
depending on the type of tripod and shooting conditions, there may be cases in which
[Off] is the preferred option.
• [Normal] or [Sport] is recommended when the camera is mounted on a monopod.
