What does VR mean on camera?

Lead: VR (vibration damping) camera anti-shake technology is an optical technology, which can improve the image blur caused by camera vibration, and can shoot quickly when the shutter speed is reduced by three gears, so that the telephoto lens can take clear photos. When the photographer shoots a moving object, the system even automatically detects the movement of the camera. VR operation can only be performed on newer Nikon cameras. Today, Nikon VR anti-shake system and Canon IS anti-shake system are considered by many consumers to be the earliest and most influential optical anti-shake systems in the world. It is not only widely used in professional SLR lenses, but also often seen in consumer digital cameras. This also laid the professional position of Nikon VR anti-shake system in the field of optical anti-shake

What does VR on the lens mean? The principle of Nikon VR anti-shake IS basically the same as Canon's IS anti-shake system, which uses floating lenses in the lens for correction. Optical axis deviation? It consists of a detection part, a lens group for compensating vibration and a drive control part. The electronic shock absorption system in the lens detects the slight vibration of the lens, corrects the lens position inside the lens in real time, and effectively reduces the influence of external vibration on the final camera imaging. Nikon VR anti-shake system can reduce the security shutter by up to three gears.

The safety shutter of a camera is based on the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. For example, when the focal length is 50mm, its safety shutter is 1/50s. If it is lower than this shutter speed, it is easy to shake in theory. From this, we can know that the longer the focal length, the shorter the safety shutter. If the focal length of telephoto lens reaches 300mm, its safety shutter is 1/300 s, and if the lighting conditions are not ideal when shooting, it is difficult to realize the safety shutter and hand-held shooting jitter is inevitable. VR damping technology can reduce the shutter speed of 2-3 gears, so it is more conducive to taking clear photos when the lighting conditions are not ideal and the tripod and other equipment cannot be used. Therefore, compared with professional high-end SLR lenses, it is extremely urgent to popularize VR anti-shake and shock absorption technology for home digital cameras. Especially in telephoto digital cameras, the anti-shake function becomes more important.

Anti-shake can be divided into the first generation (VR) and the second generation (VR II). The first generation can lower the three-stage shutter, such as a 50mm lens. If you don't turn on VR, you need115 seconds to get a clear picture. If you turn on VR,115 seconds can take a clear picture. The second generation can lower the shutter by four levels. The only cheap lens is the VR switch.
