I took a hand held shot yesterday with Z6 and 24-70mm F4S at F8 ISO100, 1/100, IBIS on, something I’ve done so many times, with D800 and 20mm F1.8 with no VR control at all.
Being disappointed with that image because it didn’t look sharp at all, I’ve done some testing today.
First, electronic shutter on, then I changed shutter speed taking two shots, one with IBIS, and one without IBIS.
I was always getting better results with IBIS on, until I hit 1/200 and faster, where things got very similar between two.
Then I switched to mechanical shutter, and I was surprised, what I found.
SS 1/25 – sharper with IBIS
SS 1/60 – sharper without IBIS
SS 1/100 –sharper without IBIS
SS 1/125 - Sharper without IBIS
SS 1/200 - Very similar with or without
SS 1/400 - Very similar with or without
This is not any kind of scientific test, but I repeated the same thing at least 10 times at 1/60, 1/100 and 1/125 SS. Images without IBIS were sharper every time (all hand held).
I’m wondering if anyone else noticed this kind of situation on Z6 or Z7, yet?
Thanks
