I don't use a tripod, but occasionally I might set the camera on a wall where it would be stationary. I just leave the IS on. I hadn't noticed any problems. But if I was using a tripod a lot, I might want to shut off the IS and then turn it on, to see what differences might show up in two separate photos. If it's an important photo that you don't want to lose, it doesn't hurt to do it both ways. Do you or Dunlin want to experiment for us?

Dig,

I have to take a Christmas photo today. My intention is to use Mirror lockup and a 10 second timer delay. I'll give it a shot and let you know what I think.

I probably won't post the pictures. My wife is adverse to having her picture taken. These are for close family only.
