Troubleshooting
Autofocus is not working.
Ensure the focus mode switch on the lens is set to 'AF'. Check if the camera's focus mode is also set to autofocus. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera. If these steps do not help, try manual focus.
Images are not sharp.
Check the focus. Make sure the subject is in focus by either using autofocus or focusing manually. Set a faster shutter speed if there is camera shake. Check the aperture, the lens performs best when stopped down 1-2 stops from wide open. Clean the lens from any smudges or dirt.
Vibration Reduction not functioning.
Make sure the VR switch on the lens is turned on. The VR system may not function when a tripod is used; it is recommended to turn the VR off.
Lens is not recognized by the camera.
Make sure the lens is securely attached to the camera body. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera body with a dry, lint-free cloth.
