Re: Image stabilization panning detection in RF lenses

On Canon forums I received confirmation from a Canon product expert that there should be panning detection built into the 800mm f11 and that it is most effective with Electronic First Curtain Shutter. For my usage of BIF and swimming birds, however, I don't find it particularly helpful and have been getting more keepers with it turned off. I find it better to use electronic shutter because at least you can maximize your chances of having at least a few sharp shots.

I'm guessing the issue would rather be how much speed is needed to stop horizontal stabilization, slow-flying/swimming birds probably won't cut it.
