Troubleshooting

Lens not focusing.

Ensure the lens is set to autofocus (AF) or manual focus (MF) appropriately on the camera and that the subject has enough contrast for the autofocus system to work. Try manually focusing.

Images are not sharp.

Check your shutter speed, and increase if necessary, or use the VR. Ensure the subject is in focus and consider using a tripod or monopod for stability.

Vibration Reduction not working effectively.

Make sure VR is enabled in your camera menu. Avoid panning too fast, and allow the system to stabilize before shooting. Ensure you are not in continuous shooting mode.

Dust or debris inside the lens.

If dust is visible, it may require professional cleaning. The lens is weather-sealed to prevent the ingress of dust, but it is not completely sealed.
