I would appreciate it so much if anyone can tell me the reason for turning off IS when using a tripod. Am I right in saying the same applies to a monopod.
I must admit I never remember to turn it off.

    I think it's because the IS is designed to seek vibrations in your camera and compensate for (reduce) them. When the camera is stock still on a tripod the IS cannot find any vibrations to work with and, in effect, 'creates' some in it's efforts to function.

    It is good to remember to turn off IS when using a tripod, Bob, but many of us - certainly myself, have shot lots of frames from tripods having forgotten to turn IS off, and the world does not end, nor is your image degraded in a noticeable way when using MOST modern IS lenses from Canon.

    Try shooting a frame with and without IS from a tripod, and see what you get. Post the frame s here on this thread. This is one area where your choice of shutter speed may make a lot of difference. I think the difference will be greater if shooting longer exposures than 1/30th or 1/60. Higher shutter speed frames will probably not be much different.

    As the Chuck Westfall link shows, this was more of a problem with the earlier versions of IS.

    Thanks Anthony and Dan for replying. Thanks Pathfinder I will do that and see if there is any difference. In the past I have remembered to turn it off but I have never found any noticeable difference.
    Thanks

    I have tried several frames with and without IS at different shutter speeds using a tripod. To be honest Pathfinder I can't tell any difference. I used 5D Mk11 with 24-105.
    Thanks once again.

    with longer exposures you would see difference
    the movement of the magnets causes vibration , always ( you can hear it )

    even if you dont see different , switching it off saves battery-power

    Thank you for that report, Bob. That is pretty much my experience also. Now if I were shooting stars at a 30 sec exposure, I would definitely want IS turned off.

    When all else fails, run your own experiment and find out what happens, pixels are free.

    Thanks ever so much Bas and Pathfinder for your advice. I do take quite a number of long exposures and I will ensure it is switched off.

    There's a lot of discussion about turning off the VR or IS when
    shooting on a tripod, but very little about turning it off when
    shooting at very fast shutter speeds with action photography.

    I turn mine off when shooting at faster shutter speeds on the
    premise that the camera will find focus faster. I don't know if
    this is true, but it doesn't seem to negatively affect the outcome.

    Comments on this welcome.

    Are you shooting in TV, Av or Manual mode. How do you monitor what your shutter speed is, to decide whether to turn your IS off or on?

    In my limited experience shooting wildlife, I find it is rather hard to monitor shutter speed from frame to frame, especially at the end of daylight when the light is dropping rapidly, as it does near the equator, and one's shutter speed can quickly fall from 1/500th down to 1/50th or even 1/15th as critters move out of the fading sunlight back into the shaded areas of the bush.

    I took a workshop with John and Barbara Gerlach and they introduced me to Tv with Auto ISO, which I know is absolute heresy to some serious photographers, but I did try it in Kenya late in the day, when the sun is falling rapidly, and found I was getting nice images with a shutter speed still at 1/320th, that I was quite pleased with. AF was set to AI Servo of course, with IS on.

    I was also quite surprised, however, when I found my ISO was set to ISO 12,800 by the Auto ISO setting at f5.6 the maximum aperture of my 70-300 L lens. I did not realize how dim the light had become bakc in the bushes. -- ISO 12,800 - the image must be horrible - right??

    Here is that image in color and in my conversion to B&W. ( Recent lo noise DSLRs, and modern Raw engine like LR4, are necessary for this trick I do think. )

    [imgl]http://pathfinder.smugmug.com/Travel/Kenya-2013/i-5HPCpGX/0/M/leopard in the woods_V6P9560-M.jpg[/imgl] [imgr]http://pathfinder.smugmug.com/Travel/Kenya-2013/i-DkbvBhT/0/M/leopard_in_weeds_monochrome-2-M.jpg[/imgr]

    One can debate the merits of my image, but I do not think noise in it is a serious issue.









    If you KNOW your shutter speed is not going to fall, and that it will remain faster than 1/1500th or more, then I agree I do not think IS makes a great deal of difference.

    If your reply is directed at my comment about turning off the IS/VR for action
    shots, then I'm shooting either on shutter priority or manual with the shutter
    set to a fast speed.

    It's usually event photography like a sporting event where the action takes
    place within a fairly limited time frame. The ISO is usually fixed.

    Yes, Tony, I was responding to you.

    It sounds as if you can be relatively certain that your lighting is not going to change radically during your shoot, in which case a fixed ISO makes good sense, and Tv or Manual mode means that you KNOW for certain what your minimum shutter speed is.

    My situation was different in that I knew the lighting was going to change fairly radically, and could change 5 or more stops by merely changing the direction of my camera axis, so for me, in that situation, Tv with Auto ISO was a reasonable choice. At least with a 5DMk III or similar camera with good high ISO performance

    Other folks may prefer Av with active watching their shutter speed, which was my preferred method for years, but I would have missed my shot of the leopard in the deep forest, because I had no idea it would need an ISO that high, or my shutter speed would have plummeted. I have never deliberately chosen an ISO higher than 1600 or 3200 in extreme situations, which still would have left me with a shutter speed 2 stops slower than 1/320th.

    My point is that no one method is the sole method of choice, but that there are several ways to skin a cat.

    I agree that IS/VR means very little at shutter speeds faster than 1/1000th or so. Folks forget that even with very high shutter speeds, with a focal plane shutter, it still takes about 1/250th of a second for the shutter to go from opening to final closing, as the slit travels across the sensor face.

    I had to look up "Tv mode". My little old Nikon DSLR doesn't have that. I thought
    you were talking about some video mode, but I see "Tv mode" can mean "time
    value" or shutter priority.
    My point is that no one method is the sole method of choice, but that there are several ways to skin a cat. [unquote]

    PETA's gonna get you for using that expression and using a photo of a big cat!

    Can you, or anyone else, address the point of faster auto focus with VR off?
    Myth or fact? Minor or major difference?

    Maybe Ziggy has a link he can point us to, as I have no real firm data as to your question about AF speed, with and without IS.

    Like you, I kind of think it might be marginally faster without it, but not enough to alter my shooting routine, at least for me.

    A quick google turned up a few links, that I am not sure I fully agree with, but what the hey

    http://www.bythom.com/nikon-vr.htm A few years out of date, perhaps... It agrees with you that at shutter speeds faster than 1/500th IS should be turned off.

    http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=298360 = a web forum discussion of the issue, that feels there is no difference once IS has spun up, i.e. is active.

    A quick perusal of the manual from Canon for my EOS 70-300 f4-5.6 IS L says nothing about turning the IS off at high shutter speeds at all. It even suggest leaving it on with a monopod sometimes.

    I think that it would be extremely hard to prove exactly the conditions under which Optical Image Stabilization has an effect on autofocus speed, positively, negatively or neutrally.

    My current "belief", and the possible science behind the belief, follows:
    Definitions and Conditions (D&C):
    1) Phase Detect (PD) Secondary Image Registration (SIR) Autofocus (AF) uses a pair of lenses and a sensor array, similar to an imager, to passively sample the current and present "real" image at the point of shutter button press, half-press, rear-button press, or continuously as in Servo focus. Processing that sampled image produces sufficient data to allow a specialized circuit or image processor to compare phase differences between the two sample points behind each lens of the AF module. This is known as an Electronic Rangefinder (E-RF).
    1a) AI-Servo/AF-S autofocus additionally calculates "predictive" AF data, based on prior AF sample trends and the respective AI-Servo/AF-S algorithms. This allows (potential) continuous AF steering of subjects of calculable movement (or the presumption thereof).

    2) The measured phase difference allows the "processing" section of the autofocus system to determine current focus position at the sample region; fore, aft or correct focus. Autofocus direction and degree (AF vector) information is generated and communicated to the autofocus "steering" circuits which guide the lens' autofocus motor and drive to the calculated E-RF parity. (Ideally, that is the prime focus for the subject.)

    3) The strength of the AF signal (used for the AF sample data) is dependant upon, AF sensor sensitivity, available/ambient light (and/or additional light from a focus illumination lamp or AF assist light), AF module design (including AF lens size and design, any additional apertures internal to the AF module) and the AF sensor dynamic range (specifically the point at which sensor noise obfuscates sensor data and what the data slope and data vectors do just before that point.) The taking lens' maximum aperture factors in, as does the lens' contrast.

    4) E-RF discrimination is only possible with subjects of sufficient contrast to provide valuable AF sample data "and" with subjects sufficiently illuminated to provide sufficient AF data strength.

    5) Subject Blur (SB) (where "subject" is defined as the area under AF scrutiny and where "blur" is defined as motion rapid enough with respect to AF sample speed to cause an AF sample variation), caused by either subject motion or camera motion or both, has the effect of reducing AF subject contrast, thereby reducing AF speed and AF accuracy.

    Accepting the above D&C allows explorations of various autofocus scenarios.

    In particular, and to answer Tony Cooper's question, ...
    TonyCooper wrote: »

    "If" you use optical image stabilization (OIS) to provide a more crisp subject image to the autofocus (AF) system, "then" the AF system views the AF data sample with having higher contrast, which should improve AF acquisition speed and AF accuracy. Indeed, this seems to be the case by my own unscientific empirical testing and use.

    To know when OIS is beneficial to the AF system requires some knowledge of the OIS system in use.

    All OIS (aka "lens based" stabilization) systems have a "settle and lock" period, during which AF may be impaired. All OIS systems that I'm aware of also have a specific, but unique to each system, duration, which can be re-activated and extended.

    "If" the OIS is previously "locked", "then" it is presenting a more stable image to the AF system, so if you activate AF while OIS is locked it should acquire faster due to the reduced subject blur as defined above in section 5 of the D&C.

    Other factors will have some effect on the outcome such as:

    Specific AF settings in the camera as in:
    AF sensitivity to distractions, for example the "AF 'Cases'" section of the Canon 5D MKIII and 1D X bodies.
    AF settings related to release vs focus priority.

    Specific OIS systems. Different OIS systems have different qualities, so each manufacturer, model and version needs to be evaluated and understood before you can expect predictable results.

    Specific AF systems. Similar to the above, AF systems have differences related to different modes of operation as well as different sensitivities and different durations and responsiveness.

    Subject contrast. Subject matter under AF scrutiny may still not lock focus, or may lock focus more slowly, regardless of OIS, if it lacks sufficient contrast. Locked OIS should improve the AF results but cannot guarantee AF results.

    Ambient light. Autofocus requires sufficient light in order to operate. In extremely low light, OIS may not make any difference at all. However, it probably will not hurt AF either, once OIS is locked.

    Subject motion. OIS does not help with subject motion, unless the OIS has a panning/tracking mode (even an automatic tracking mode) "and" the camera/lens is accurately tracking the subject. In that condition, OIS may help control subject blur when locked, allowing faster autofocus acquisition.

    Camera motion. Camera motion, especially camera shake due to operator shake, is what OIS is designed to counter and control. Other types of camera motion, like motion due to vibrations caused by other sources (vehicular, horseback, heavy machinery, wind, etc.) may not be as well controlled by OIS. If OIS is not working properly from one of these causes, it will certainly not help with AF acquisition. Similarly, not all OIS systems have equally competent panning/tracking capability.

    One-shot vs predictive continuous autofocus. I don't know why, but this issue continues to trip up even well known professionals. One-shot AF typically takes a single sample of the AF in order to operate the AF system. Predictive continuous autofocus, aka AI-Servo/AF-S mode, "requires" a short period to sample subject motion, before it can accurately predict and set AF. The sample period for AI-Servo/AF-S mode needs to be added to the OIS settle time to work in harmony.

    There are a few lesser significant items which I'll ignore for now.


    Finally, my short(er) observations and summary with recommendations.

    For sports/action which has irregular or spontaneous activity and doesn't allow you to plan and anticipate, I recommend leaving OIS off and using one-shot AF too. The sample period for AI-Servo/AF-S mode and the OIS settle time will probably lead to more frustration than desirable results. A body and lens designed for sports/action is very much indicated.

    For sports/action which has predictable movement of the subject(s), and which allows you to plan and compose the shot, may allow you time for the sample period for AI-Servo/AF-S mode and the OIS settle time, so you may wish to try that combination and let the results dictate what you use. (Test, evaluate, learn, apply.) Certain horse events might fall in this category, for instance.

    For sports/action which has "mostly" predictable movement of the primary subject(s), but where the primary subjects may change, I think that AI-Servo/AF-S mode is indicated, but OIS is probably not indicated. Basketball shot from court-side, for instance. Some automobile races as well. A professional sports/action body and lens is recommended to keep up with the action, as well as custom AF settings.

    For some automotive races, depending on your position relative to the race, OIS and AI-Servo/AF-S "could" be valuable. Shooting a race from the spectator stands, for instance. (Hardly an ideal position for much of the drama, however.)

    For mostly static scenes and subjects in subdued light, where you are mostly trying to combat user camera shake, I think that the combination of OIS and one-shot makes sense. It may not help as much as some would want, but I don't see any harm either.


    I suppose that the point is if you can "see" a shake benefit through the viewfinder and still have time for the shot, the AF system will "sense" the shake reduction as higher contrast subject matter (item 5 above), and the result should be an improved AF experience and result. My tests and personal experience seem to bear this out.
