Vibration Reduction (VR)

Designed to enable more stable handheld shooting, Nikon’s impressive Vibration Reduction system lets you shoot at up to four stops slower.²

This means you’ll be able to achieve clear, blur-free images even when shooting at the far end of the telephoto range in low light. You can turn VR on or off using the camera menu.
