[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 429385, member: 12496"] VR has to continue correcting during the exposure. This is why we might be able to handhold way too slow shots (within reason at least). We still shake the camera during the exposure, but VR compensates with equal opposite motion of a lens element to make the image appear steady on the sensor. That is what VR is. But VR speed is finite, it has a limit, and Nikon advises turning it off for fast exposures (when we don't need it anyway). VR is a feature for slow shutter speeds. My notion is that like most things (auto ISO, auto WB, auto FP, Vivid, etc), the default ought to be OFF. Turn it On only when you know you need it, when you have a reason, and it might do something for you, instead of hurting. :) [/QUOTE]
