I mean, it's designed to compensate for camera shake so why wouldn't it help to sharpen my shots right?! I'm so glad that I did a little research and found out what VR is and when to use it. In this video, I explore what VR stands for, how it works, and when you should be using it. This is also a bit of a Nikon Vibration Reduction Review, as I take some test shots and show you the results. If you use vibration reduction in the way I explain in this video, you should get the most out of it. Remember to only switch it on in low light situations with stationary subjects and you should get great results. *Find me in other places online:* *Websites* - https://photographersfreedom.com https://barrycallisterphotography.com.au *Facebook* - https://www.facebook.com/photographersfreedom https://www.facebook.com/barrycallisterphotography/ *Instagram* - https://www.instagram.com/barrycallisterphotography/ *My print-on-demand products on Redbubble* - https://www.redbubble.com/people/barrycallister/shop Thank you for watching this photography tutorial for beginners.
