p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · IS on or off when using a 500mm F4 with tripod | |
The term, "shooting on a tripod" is a bit ambiguous.
If the Tripod-head allows the cam/lens to be locked down in a manner to prevent any movement, then there's no need for IS.
A Gimbal-head, however, is designed for movement, though smooth, & controlled, whereas a Monopod or hand-held equate to "erratic" movement, the degree of which is dependent on the user's ability, & can differ from person to person.
With Mark-1 lenses, through trial & error, I settled for Mode-2 tracking BIF, OFF with "still" shots, & Mode -1 Hand-held (except when Panning).
Mark-2 lenses are designed to detect if "locked down" & can theoretically be left "ON" in all situations. I've gotten to the point of leaving Mode-3 on for most all situations.
The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to take "a lot" of test shots in the various configurations; and let the results be the determining factor; though the" difficulty" is keeping note of Mode=shot, as IS info is not in the EXIF.
