Olympus E-PL5 / 60 2.8 Macro - double image with IS

Had been wondering why some of my images with my Oly 60 2.8 and E-PL5 have looked quite poor and stumbled upon the finding that at certain shutter speeds IS can severely degrade the image.

Not tested all shutter speeds but the problem is certainly present at shutter speeds of 1/125 seconds which unfortunately happens to be the one the auto-ISO function tries to maintain.



with IS off

with IS mode 1

The image degradation is clearly visible.

EDIT: The image degradation occurs seems to be present when the subject is at moderate to far distances. At near distances it seems to be fine. Macro distances not tested.
