What Makes Sport Mode Special
Sport mode limits vibration reduction to the minimum
needed for subjects that are moving quickly and unpre-
dictably. When the camera is hand-held, the image in the
viewfinder remains as stable and smooth as when the
camera is mounted on a monopod, making subjects easier
to track during panning and high-speed burst photogra-
phy. When the lens is mounted on a D500, all of this can be
accomplished without reducing frame rate or increasing
shutter lag.
Sport mode: Image in viewfinder is stable and smooth.
Sport mode: Image in viewfinder is stable and smooth.
Normal mode: More powerful vibration reduction makes motion
in viewfinder seem jerky and unnatural when lens is moved.
