view finder shake when camera turn and sometime when taking photo

[rached_elie]

Hello guys
week ago i bought a new Nikon D90 (the kit with 18-105 mm lens)
Today when i was turning on my cam, i felt something shaken in the lens

i turn it off, i looked in the view finder, then turn it on.. i saw the screen(image inside the viewfinder) shakes (3 shakes) then it will gone.

Sometimes, this behavior, show again when taking a photo...
Don't know if it something related to VR, this behavior remain when VR is turned on or turned off.

Is there any way to reset VR?

is it a serious behavior?

Thank you,
-Elie

sounds like typical VR to me, but can't really confirm as I don't own any VR lenses and have only ever used one once.

If it remains when VR is turned off I would suspect it's something else. Could possibly be an element not moving smoothly inside the lens when focusing.

I have the same camera & lens. You shouldn't see any shaking, the VR doesn't actually activate untill you press the shutter release half way down to focus.
If hand holding, You should see a jittery image just from your movments, pressing the shutter release will cause the image movment to become much more fluid and stable, but no actual shaking.

my advice would be to put the camera on a tripod or a table to stabalize it, and see if you still have the same thing happining.

TIP: Remember to turn off your VR, BEFORE turning off your camera.
