[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 167661, member: 16"] If you're hand holding the camera with that lens, make sure, as Pat said, that VR is ON, and make sure you're using a higher shutter speed, equal to or greater than the focal length of the lens; eg: 300mm = 1/320th of a second, 50mm = 1/60th of a second, etc. As a rule of thumb, the longer the focal length, the faster the shutter speed to compensate for camera shake. When using a tripod, turn VR OFF. It's not needed when the camera is stable and not moving. [/QUOTE]
