Nikon 18-200 F3.5-5.6 VR 2 Demonstration / Review

radmin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:25:47 +0000

Supplemental information: the VR uses quite a bit of battery. Probably as much as the flash at near full power. Also, the VR "sleep" behavior I demonstrate is true of all VR I've tested. I went to the store and tried 5 different VR lenses and they all went to sleep if you held the lens too still. This only happens when you brace yourself or rest your elbows on something. I doubt you could hold it still enough free-standing. "Normal" mode will attempt to actually lock on and hold that position where as "Active" mode simply dampens movements but does not attempt to out-right stop them. NOTE: be sure you turn off vr for any long exposure! The lens will "drift" causing any long tripod exposures to appear motion blurry. Kind of ironic. ...

Nikon CLS Demonstration Video

... simple and nice example of using the Nikon flash system. One remote flash that is fired by the camera's on-board system. In macro photography like this it is important to note that the main on-board camera flash is not contributing to the exposure, it is only triggering the flash. Otherwise the on-board will cause reflections and glare that a remote flash wont. On my Sony A700 this is a problem because you can't turn off the on-camera flash. So a trick I used was to tape a piece of exposed film over the flash. This way the signal light could still trigger the remote flash while not contributing to the overall exposure. (if you do this make sure the camera is set to wireless mode or you will melt the film to your on-camera flash... not ideal). Obviously the Nikon system is better. A quick demonstration using Nikon's CLS with SB-800's and a Nikon ...
