Using the Built-in Flash
When using the built-in flash, be su re the subject is at a range of at 
least 0.6 m (2 ft) and remove le ns hoods to prevent vignetting 
(shadows created where the end of  the lens obscures the built-in 
flash).

❚❚ Vibration Reduction (VR)AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR II lenses support 
vibration reduction (VR), which reduces blur caused by camera 
shake, allowing shutter speeds up to 4.0 stops slower than 
would otherwise be the case (measured at a focal length of 
55 mm with a DX-format camera according to  Camera and 
I maging  Products  Association [CIPA] standards; effects vary with 
the photographer and shooting co nditions). This increases the 
range of shutter speeds available...

Vibration Reduction
Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens while vibration 
reduction is in effect.
Vibration reduction is disabled while the built-in flash is charging.
 
When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may 
jiggle after the shutter is released.
 This does not indicate a 
malfunction; wait for the image in  the viewfinder to stabilize before 
shooting.

 To  
remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol 
or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cott on cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and 
clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care 
not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

A Note on Wide- and Super Wide-Angle Lenses
Autofocus may not provide the desired results in situations like those 
shown below. 
1 Objects in the background occupy more of the focus point than the 
main subject:
If the focus point contains both 
foreground and background objects, 
the camera may focus on the 
background and the subject may be 
out of focus.
Example: A far-off portrait 
subject at some distance from  the background
2 The subject contains many fine details.
