Hi,
Many a times while I shoot hand-held with VR 'ON' on my Nikkor 105mm VR AF-S micro, I find that image is not all that sharp. The shutter speeds I am talking of, is around 1/60 range (may be a little more too!). Somewhere during the shutter release, I am messing it up (that's what i guess from the fact that I find some kind of movement during those blinding moments when the mirror slaps) & I end up with 'not so sharp image'. I try the same frame with VR 'OFF' & I get better results !!!!
I am not sure if I am able to explain the situation aptly to you all.
With many experienced photographers here, do u have any techniques/guidelines to follow while using the VR (or IS) ??? Any particular time to wait for before I release shutter; or any other precautions etc ... ?
In effect, how do i get the best out of Nikkor VR ?
Any help will be much appreciated...
Thanks & regards,
Kaushik
