Vibration Reduction

[airPLAINcrazy]

G'evening all...

Just got my upgraded lens which is awesome news. it is an ..wait for it..

AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300 mm f4.5-5.6G IF-ED

off to LHR tommorow to try it out...however on reading the manual I have a question...

In the Active mode, the VR reduces horizontal vibrations only. Fine... but what happens when you are panning at an angle?? how would you deal with it then??

Thanks

I use the 80-400 VR.

Active is for use when you are in a ( for instance ) moving vehicle or are pointing the lens up at extreme angles and including extreme up/down movement.

For any kind of use at LHR use the following settings....

VR = "On"
set to "Normal"

Trust yer' uncle Brian, I've been there, (LHR that is)
I've got one !
It works !!
Don't listen to the "Canonites" !!! They can't help being dinosaurs, bless 'em !

I have the 18200 vr nikkor and really love it, always have the vr on, makes great panning shots, this one taken at 1/8 sec:
