Re: TCON-17 setting on the XZ-1

Thank you for your thoughts on IS. I'm not an expert on the sensor-shift technology in the XZ-1, but my understanding is that the mechanism senses camera movement and makes a compensating movement to the necessary extent. Increasing the focal length parameter means that the mechanism is allowed more latitude to move, but not that it has to move to its maximum latitude on every exposure.

In my set-up, the difference between the camera's calculated focal length and the actual one is around 10%, so It's not going to matter much one way or the other.
