Vibration Reduction - The way to a blurry free image? Vibration reduction (VR) technology in a Nikkor lens is a great way to reduce shaky images in general.
The technology may be great, but some users are confused about how it really works, and what it can and cannot do. To help ease that confusion, I would like to present the basics behind image stabilizing techniques and go deeper into the topic of reducing shaky images with Nikon's VR. By understanding how VR works you can use it effectively to the benefit of your shooting techniques and your pictures.

This is a bit of a geeky post but thought I’d share a few pictures taken on a pre-release version of the new Nikon 800mm f5.6 lens.
I had the chance to use it in two sessions at the Aquatics Centre of the Olympic Park today and so far it’s held up well. The light in the pool area isn’t great and as the lens is f5.6, I’m shooting at between 4000 and 6400ISO to get these shots at around 1250th/sec and 1600th/sec. While it isn’t the greatest of lighting conditions, it’s a pretty good “real world” test rather than outside in floods of bright sunshine on a tripod, as magazines will inevitably do when it’s released!
