VR on or off

[tea2085]

Should I turn off Vibration Reduction on my d3300 when I am using a tripod? Paul

It is suggested that you turn it off when using a tripod

I leave VR turned off unless I absolutely know that I need it.

Definitely turn it off when using a tripod.

I used to be a "VR on" always type of a guy. Now I'm a total opposite. Very rarely do I turn the VR on.

There can be exceptions to the rule,something like the Tamron 150-600 on a not 100% stable tripod can benefit from VR on,in these sort of situations you have to do your own tests.

i turn it off when on my tripod, on for hand held, especially the big lens.

I think it would be detrimental for BIF shots, using AF-C and burst. Besides, BIF shots I do at 1/1600 shutter speed, which is almost 3 times the focal length.

Like Paul and Pete said, definitely off when on a tripod. (Who would use an unstable tripod anyway?? )

Whether it makes sense to have it off or on when shooting hand held is a bit more personal preference. I tend to leave it off by default unless I know I need it for the shot.

Your D3300 has VR?

Yes- it's called two shots of Jim Beam. Just wondered if I should shoot drunk or sober. Thanks for the article! Paul

Why not? My D750 has an automatic lens defogger and cappuccino maker.:indecisiveness:

Wow, Blacktop- That camera must be worth a fortune. I googled camera/cappuccino and only found one. It is made by Bunn and has a Canon camera. I guess the liberals love this camera. Paul

Sorry about the polically incorrect remark, I won't do it again. Please don't quit on me. Blacktop has been so helpful to me and I still have many more questions to ask as I am thinking about upgrading my lenses. Paul
