Normal v. Active
When I bought my Nikon 70-300 VR lens used, it did not come with the owner's manual. I see that there is a setting on the lens for "Normal" or "Active". I ask this august body when would be an appropriate time to use each of those settings. I have kept it on the "Normal" setting since I have owned the lens.
To your question, the "active" setting, according to my take, is used when you are in situations that produce more vibration or shake than a normal handheld scenario, e.g.: in a moving vehicle. Enjoy the lens.
Thanks to all of you for your resources and feedback.
