Hello Gurus
I always wonder when something is given as an option about the purpose of being able to turn it off. In many cases it is obvious - for example enabling a certain post processing feature can incur processing overhead, so you might prefer or need to have it off.
Other options seems less obvious about the benefit of being able to turn them off. In this case I'm wondering about the Nikon lens' built-in VR feature.
The [Nikon D3000] manual states that if power is lost the lens might "rattle", that VR functioning is reduced while the flash is charging, and that the image in the Viewfinder may be blurred when VR is active, but that this is normal.
Does these "artifacts" of having VR active hint at why one may want to disable it? Or is there another reason for wanting to be able to turn it off at times?
The manual further states, and I quote: "Turn vibration reduction off when the camera is securely mounted on a tripod"
The above you will notice is worded as an instruction, but does not include the words Must or Should or Could or May which adds severity to the guide. Can anybody give more info on why is meant here or the benefits of turning the feature off?
Thanx,
