on a rocking boat.
• With the EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6
IS USM or EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
USM lens, the Image Stabilizer will not be very effective while you move
the camera to take panned shots.
[l] • The Image Stabilizer can operate with the focus mode switch set to
either <AF> or <MF>.
• If the camera is mounted
on a tripod, you can save battery power by
SWitching the IS switch to <OFF>.
• The Image Stabilizercan operate even when the camera is mounted on
a monopod.
.. Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the
shooting conditions. However, the EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6
IS and EF-
S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses switch the IS mode automatically.
