Nikon IS

I always wondered what the diff was btwn "Active" and "Normal" and saw this explanation on slrgear, thought i would share it to the curious.

The Nikon J1 has a Normal and Active mode for VR: we used the Normal setting in our VR testing, which compensates for motion in the left-right axis but not up and down. We did test the Active mode, which compensates for movement left to right, as well as up and down. /
