Question

What does VR lens mean for camera?

Answer 1

Vibration Reduction

which means is reduced vibrations in your hands, all in an attempt to stabilize the image. VR lenses are used primarily in telephoto lenses, and in low-light photography.

Answer 2

Nathan is right.

it is also called Vibration Reduction..these terminology is adapted by Nikon company.

Answer 3

Vibration Reduction means that you can hand hold the camera at lower speeds than you could otherwise get away with.

But each VR lens has the system built into it, making them more expensive and bulkier than the optics alone.

Olympus built the system into the camera body of the E-510 so that the lenses are smaller, lighter and cheaper.
