Has anyone had experience with tripod shots with IS turned on ?
Way too broad a question before the following. Canon, and possibly others, have made various IS lenses with special
modes for tripod work.
Especially the M1 ?
I haven't checked the E-M1 manual. Oly has always said what the E-M5 manual
says:
"• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake
that occurs
when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is
recommended
that you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [Image Stabilizer] to [OFF]."
In the GX7 manual, Panny says the same thing:
"• When using an optional interchangeable lens with an O.I.S. switch, it is
possible to set to
enable the Optical Image Stabiliser by switching the O.I.S. switch on the lens
to [ON]. (At the
time of purchase, it is initially set to [Lens ].)
• When a tripod is used, we recommended that [Operation Mode] be set to [OFF]."
OTOH, I always forget to turn IS off when I use a tripod, and have never seen a negative effect - at least that I've
been aware of. I believe I've read similar comments from others, but have no idea who or where.
Perhaps you are the one to take On/Off test shots and enlighten the rest of us.
