❚❚ Vibration Reduction (VR) AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR lenses support vibration reduction (VR), which reduces blur caused by camera shake even when the camera is panned, allowing shutter speeds to be slowed by approximately 4.0 stops. This increases the range of shutter speeds available and permits hand-held, tripodfree photography in a wide range of situations. The stated value of 4.0 stops is based on measurements made in NORMAL mode according to Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are assessed using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras, and zoom lenses at maximum zoom. To use vibration reduction, slide the vibration reduction switch to ON. Vibration reduction is activated when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, reducing the effects of camera shake on the image in the viewfinder and simplifying the process of framing the subject and focusing. 378
