[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 388555, member: 24753"] Me clarify. When the camera is on and VR is on and you press the release button (or in some cases the back focus button), the lens elements that reduce vibration start moving to offset camera movement. When you release the button, the VR elements lock back in to their cubbyholes. If you turn the camera off while VR is active (meaning the lens elements are loose because they have not had the chance to settle into their cubbyholes), then they will remain loose until the camera is powered back on. According to the manual, it does not hurt the lens. Just lets the elements rattle around. So, if the camera is on, there should be no rattle. And if the VR is settled and inactive before turning the camera off there should be no rattle. Except maybe some lenses have a little rattle detected by sensitive souls who become one with their camera. [/QUOTE]
