VR activation always stays assigned to shutter half-press, as does the wake from sleep for the light meter.

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion concerning this. Some users insist that the rear button(s) will control VR and, I could have sworn that was the case with the VR lenses I own and both the D610 and the D7000. However, I need to go back and confirm this which I'm not able to do at the moment. I will say that a half press of the shutter does seem to activate VR in any case. Even if the back button also activates VR.

Differs from camera to camera. Older cameras back button did not activate VR, newer ones do. Can't tell you the model numbers though.

D3300 activates VR on BB focus.
With a bit of luck, it will be the same with my D3200 but I'll not know until I can open me prezzies on Christmas Day.

I got a Tamron 70-30mm VC lens quite recently and the Vibration Compensation does indeed activate at the half press of the shutter button. It really grabs the scene and holds it steady and when I relax, I have been able to get great pics of the birds outside my back door. I must say, I am very pleased with this lens and anyone with hand tremors like me who wants consistently sharper pictures, get a lens with VR or VC.

Well sir, I can see that you are a Brit, since the Union Jack is a dead giveaway. Therefore I know that you have one heck of a sense of humor, so I must ask where on earth did you find that photo above your head? I have come up with some hilarious captions, however I do not believe they would pass inspection here. I will say this much, it appears as though his face caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with an icepick. )) Thanks for a very much needed laugh.
Cheers Mate,
Tony

Glad you like my avatar. I saw the photo a good while ago on you tube and I looked for it on google images. Because I have ears that I thought stuck out like taxi doors, I used his picture on purpose. I wouldn't like to take a look in his fridge! I imagine myself seeing a jar and thinking "aargh! Those are not pickled onions!!!" I was thinking of submitting the photo as a joke when I provide a pic for my bus pass.Well sir, I can see that you are a Brit, since the Union Jack is a dead giveaway.
