Re: 55-250mm IS - Image Stabilizer not working

No evidence of malfunction , yet, IMHO.

Find a very small dot target like the wall clock face center and try to aim on it and focus, with IS switched on and then off. No shooting, just halfpress and hold on. If you don’t see the difference when aiming , IS is not working. If you see the “sticky” effect when IS is on, it works.
