Does using vibration reduction effect the camera's shutter?

12 years 6 months ago #158029 by Freshstart
I don't use VR that often, but did recently and noticed that the shutter response seemed to be a little slower than it normally is. Is that normal? What exactly is the VR system doing to effect the shutter like that?

:cheers:

From what I understand there are times when certain in camera settings active will cause your camera's VR system to charge up and at that time your shutter may experience some lag.

Snapper has it partly right but it is actually that the VR compensates first then the shot is taken. With Full time or Active VR those times are less. With when the shot is taken the times are slower since it compensates then records. I use the as the shot is taken because I find it gets more keepers over Active, to me the lag is so minimal that it doesnt matter.
