D Vibration Reduction
Vibration reduction may be unavailable with some lenses. When
using vibration reduction, wait for the image in the display to stabilize
before shooting. With some lenses, the image in the display may also
jiggle after the shutter is released; this is normal and does not indicate
a malfunction.
Sport or On is recommended for panning shots. In Sport, Normal, and
On modes, vibration reduction applies only to motion that is not part
of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration
reduction will be applied only to vertical shake).
To prevent unintended results, select Off when the camera is mounted
on a tripod. Note that settings for VR lenses may differ; consult the lens
manual for more information. Normal, Sport, or On is recommended
if the tripod head is unsecured or the camera is mounted on a
monopod.
