Depends on the IS system and lens. A few of my Canon lenses have 2 modes for IS. Mode 1 is the normal IS mode. In this mode, the image is stabilised in the horizontal as well as the vertical direction. Mode 2 is panning mode. The lens will only stabilise in the vertical direction, but not in the horizontal direction. That means you can drag the lens along with a moving subject in the horizontal direction. Good when you're making photos of fast moving cars.

Chungster, I'm by no means an expert on the Nikon gear as I am a Canon man but there should be a VR Type button: In the Normal position, VR will detect panning and not try to correct for it. In the Active position, VR takes out all motion.
Hope that helps.
