I always thought that in Mode 3 the IS is spinning prior to pressing the shutter. It’s just not correcting the image in the viewfinder. At least I can hear it spinning prior to shooting on my R3.

You're right, I was thinking about IS lenses on EF mount, where the IS continued spinning for only a couple of seconds after shooting, and then required a half press to start it up again. But RF mount is different, the IS spins for very much longer. Maybe until sleep mode is engaged, I'd have to check.

However there is still a fraction of a second while the IS optical group is moved as necessary, and that could be an issue when working very fast.
