Using VR Lenses on Tripod

Using VR Lenses on Tripod

The Vibration Reduction technology built in to some Nikon lenses can reduce or eliminate vibration or movement in the camera during shooting. When the camera is on a tripod there will be very little (if any) movement so the question arises if VR should be used or not.

In general, VR should be "Off" for all VR lenses when the camera is mounted on a tripod.

 

Except the following lens; VR can be "On" when the camera is mounted on a tripod:
  • AF-S VR 200-400mm f4

 

When mounted on a monopod, VR should be "On" for all lenses.
