It's very basic in the operating mode of the VR or IS technology, but it explains clearly why on certain circumstances the reduction of vibration is really doing the opossite. I own a 80-400 nikkor VR, and this function works spectacularly in low light and long focal distances. Good article.

If your eyes can detect any shake, it is a good idea to turn IS on. “..leave IS on when using a tripod on a windy day..”

Despite Canon stating they have "tripod detection", I found that on my Canon 28-135 IS lens, that it added a ton of noise to my tripod images. Thankfully I shoot digital so could see the immediate (poor) results on the screen so I could correct it by turning IS off. This is great advice.

I used it on holiday and tried some shots of the illuminated swimming pool at night. On the tiny viewing screen on the camera they looked great but when I downloaded them on to my computer and viewed them there was quite a lot of blurring, so IS is not the total answer (for me) - Shame, it cost a lot!

So if using a Tripod would you suggest that this is also turned off? I am in the process of purchasing the Sony Alpha 100, because of its “Super Steady Shot” built into its system.

(Obviously this is not desirable, but we don't all have rock solid tripods.)
