The "VR" on a Nikon camera lens stands for vibration reduction. This feature reduces the blur caused when the camera shakes. By compensating for small vibrations and movements, the vibration reduction helps give you a sharper image when shooting handheld as opposed to mounted on a tripod. Whether you are taking photos or shooting videos, having VR on your Nikon lens can enhance the quality and clarity of your images so you can get the perfect shot.
