What's Camera Shake?
Camera-Shake can ruin your photos at telephoto or in low light, Tamron's VC mechanism gives you blur-free hand-held images.
“Camera Shake” — the bane of hand-held photography

Camera vibration, or camera shake, is the term used to describe the reason a photo comes out blurry when the photographer moves just as he or she presses the shutter button. The resulting image usually looks fuzzy or out of focus. Camera vibration is the primary cause of poor image quality in hand-held photography.

Benefits of using VC technology

Vibration compensation technology delivers sharply focused photographs even in situations where camera vibration often occurs, such as in low light or when using the telephoto range of a zoom lens. It also enables you to use subject movement to good effect, bringing out the contrast between motion and stillness. You can also shoot without a flash, evoke the real atmosphere of a scene. VC technology made it possible to create exceptional images at slower shutter speeds under conditions where tripod was necessary.

An ultra-high zoom lens featuring Tamron's VC mechanism

This lens covers an extremely broad range of focal lengths, from a wide 28mm to a super telephoto 300mm (the 35mm equivalent of 43mm to 465mm when used on an APS-C digital SLR). Tamron’s Vibration Compensation mechanism works throughout the entire zoom range, giving you the freedom to create a wide variety of different images.
