Hi,

I just purchased a 100-400L. When I half press, the image jumps in the viewfinder, then 2-3 seconds after releasing the button, the image jumps again. I was told this is normal for long focal length lenses with image stabilization. It is more obvious out at 400mm. It does not happen when IS is turned off.

Is this normal?

P.

Up to a point. The image will jump a bit as IS starts and finishes, but if it jumps repeatedly you have a problem. I have just had to send mine to Canon to fix this.
