VR Image Stabilization
Want to see words and definitions without going to a separate glossary? Turn on the in-page
glossary to find out.
VR Image Stabilization technology detects vertical and horizontal movement and offsets it by initiating compensating motion.
Shooting in low light often means slower shutter speeds and, as a result, image blur; VR image stabilization neutralizes camera shake, resulting in sharper shots without a tripod or the use of flash. VR also means sharper shots when using the telephoto focal lengths of your zoom lens and when shooting extreme close-ups.
