Vibration Reduction (Vr) - Nikon COOLPIX 8800 Manual

Vibration Reduction (VR)

Vibration reduction adjusts the lens to compensate for slight hand move-
ments that can blur pictures or cause shake in the shooting display while
shooting still pictures or movies. Vibration reduction reduces the shutter
speed at which pictures are blurred by about three steps. It also reduces blur
when the camera is zoomed in, especially if the subject is moving or lighting
is dim. To use vibration reduction:
1
Rotate mode dial to

When vibration reduction is on, the camera detects and factors out panning
movements. If the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration re-
duction reduces only vertical shake. If the camera is panned vertically, vibra-
tion reduction affects only horizontal shake.
