VR System

Inside the lens of the COOLPIX 8800, the Vibration
Reduction (VR) System automatically detects and
compensates for the small camera movements
that cause image blur. The effect is like shooting
at shutter speeds up to three stops faster. In
addition to clear handheld shots with Normal
mode, Active mode provides an even smoother
view for shaky conditions such as shooting from a
moving vehicle. This means more shooting
opportunities and better, sharper images!

CCD image sensor

The Angular Velocity Sensors
detect camera movement.

The VR Unit automatically adjusts to camera­shake by compensating for image movement
on the CCD.
