Thanks for the heads-up on the E30 and E-620.
IS and monopods raises another discussion. I normally turn IS off for
tripod work, as the manual suggests, which was the way the camera was set
when I grabbed it. I didn't think to change it. Normally, for monopod
work, I leave IS on. This is never addressed in the manual.
