[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 551859, member: 27017"] That depends, but the general rule is turn it off when on the tripod. Quote from NIKON: With the following lenses/cameras VR should be "Off" when the camera is mounted on a tripod and the pan/tilt head is locked down and using a cable release: [LIST] [*]105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro Nikkor [*]18-200mm f3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor [*]24-120mm f3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor [*]70-200mm f2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor [*]80-400mm f4.5-5.6D ED VR AF Zoom-Nikkor [*]70-300mm f4.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor [*]Coolpix 8800 [/LIST] With the following lenses/cameras VR should be "On" when the camera is mounted on a tripod and the pan/tilt head is loose (fluid) while using the cameras shutter release button: [LIST] [*]105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro Nikkor [*]18-200mm f3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor [*]24-120mm f3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor [*]70-200mm f2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor [*]80-400mm f4.5-5.6D ED VR AF Zoom-Nikkor [*]70-300mm f4.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor [*]Coolpix 8800 [/LIST] There are various articles around that explain why the VR should be turned off when all is locked down firmly. When VR is on (locked down on the tripod) the lens creates a vibration internally (or an internal loop), trying to correct for its own vibration caused by the VR. [/QUOTE]
