Many "cheaper" EF or EF-S lenses have only one stabilizer mode, but Canon previously indicated these to have panning detection built in, so the horizontal axis would disable if you pan fast enough.

There are just two such lenses which I happen to know about - the EF-S 55-250 IS (all versions I think) which had panning detection, and the much more expensive EF 24-105/4L IS (original version) which oddly had no panning support at all.

I'm wondering if the same holds true for the RF lenses like the RF 100-400mm.

Mmmm don't know.

Edit: This has got me wondering - does my el cheapo RF 24-105 STM have panning detection? There can't be too many situations where I'd want it on such a short lens, but it would be worth knowing...
