103 Basic Camera Setup: The Setup Menu Shooting, Playback and Setup Menus g Vibration Reduction Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes. Turn vibration reduction off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting. When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed in the monitor during shooting (when off is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed in the monitor) (A6). BNotes on Vibration Reduction •Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting. •Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry. •Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some situations. •“VR” stands for vibration reduction. On (default setting) Vibration reduction is enabled when taking pictures and recording movies. Camera detects and factors out panning movements when reducing camera shake. When camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only horizontal shake. Off Vibration reduction is not enabled. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
