In-Lens Vibration Reduction

The in-lens vibration reduction ensures that images come out looking their best even if the user is shooting without a tripod or in low lit conditions. Video remains shake-free even if it has been recorded whilst walking, perfect for vlogging. Blur reduction is also available when the user does want to shoot with a tripod. It facilitates shooting at shutter speeds at 4.5 stops slower that previously possible.
