Hi!

I just got my 100-500 today and am wondering, what Image Stabilization Mode I should use. I listened in YouTube to one person that recommended Mode 2, but then the instructions say that Mode 3 is better for animals. I'm thinking that for perched birds Mode 1 and birds in movement Mode 2?? Mode 3 has me confused.

What are you birders using or anyone in similar situations?

Thank you!

I have a canon EF 100400 mk2 and from what i have read in owner's manual, #1 is for general use, #2 is for predictable movements, and #3 is for panning. i hardly pay attention to IS because i have trained my handholding the camera/lens over steady the years and i do a pretty good. the only thing i would like to suggest is to try and experience it yourself and see what happens
