What does VR on Nikon lenses mean?

VR means camera anti-shake technology.

Optical anti-shake technology does not prevent the camera from shaking. It relies on the structure of a special lens or CCD sensor to minimize image instability caused by shake during use.

Stabilization through lens sets is mainly represented by Canon and Nikon. They rely on magnetic wrapping to levitate the lens, thereby effectively overcoming image blur caused by camera vibration. This is not possible for digital cameras with large zoom lenses. The effect is more obvious.

Extended information

The Nikon anti-shake principle is basically the same as Canon's IS anti-shake system. They both use floating lenses in the lens to correct the "optical axis offset", which is detected by the detection part. , vibration compensation lens group and drive control part. The electronic vibration reduction system in the lens detects the slight vibration of the lens and corrects the lens position inside the lens in real time, effectively reducing the impact of external vibration on the final camera imaging.

The gyroscope in the lens detects small movements and transmits the signal to the microprocessor to immediately calculate the amount of displacement that needs to be compensated. Then, through the compensation lens group, the lens shake direction and displacement are Compensate to effectively overcome image blur caused by camera vibration.
