I have a Nikon Camera but the body doesn't have Image stabilisation, but my Nikon Lenses have Vibration reduction. I hate when I'm using my Tripod and forget to turn off Vibration reduction. I liked the Mural Street Art. Thanks Paul for another great video.
This is the best explanation of image stabilisation I've ever come across. I still thought there was a minimum. shutter speed I had to use and didn't realise there was this stops rating. My only question, if the lens and body has stabilisation are the two ratings added together?
Careful, cause many entry cameras only allow to adjust ISO in full stops, despite doing ISO thirds when ISO is on auto, plus minimum shutter relates to focal distance, you can hand shut at 1/20 if using 10mm and your example 1/60 will bring shaking if you use 200mm, foe example
This explanation really took hold in my noggin on the first go round, and that's not faint praise. Up to now I heard many reviewers toss in at the last second of product specs: "and X stops of stabilization" but they don't even mention if more stops is a better or worse specification let alone what it means. Well done. And thanks for adding the tips about stabilization to be OFF if there is going to be panning involved which is a characteristic of my recreational sports shooting.
Paul!!! This is SO excellent and what an AH-HA!!!!!! I've had my Nikkor 18-300 for several years and was completely unaware of this feature/capability!!!! I now need to go do more experimentation!!! Thank You! THANK You!! THANK YOU!!!!! Steve
Oh Paul thank it's so nice to go back and watch your tutorials as I've just had an emergency operation not getting out with my camera as can't walk far particularly without crutches so these are so refreshing and help keep me updated so informative as you tend to forget these simple things thank you 👍
Quick question i have canon 550d with 55-250mm nor 18-55mm lenses i've discovered that it doesn't auto focus,my question is camera faulty or its me who doesn't know how to set the camera thanks in advance,when i switch both lenses to my 4000d they work well
This is a great video Paul! Your communication was very easy and clear to understand and I really appreciated how you just got straight to the point as videos like this can usually be very boring. Also thank you for incorporating visuals into your videos as these are extremely helpful. Thank you :)
Hi Paul, I'm considering upgrading to the Canon R6 MKII, but I keep hearing stories that when it's tuned off, it rattles and it's believed that it's the IBIS which is a worry when it's costing over 2.5k. Are you aware of this and if so, do you think that I'm worrying too much, or need to hold back purchasing it until I get some clarification. As always much appreciated
Hi Terry, I was unaware of this until I read your comment, so I did some digging and it appears that you're correct and a rattle noise can be heard when the camera is turned off. I don't feel this would be any issue and can be common with lenses too when the stabilisation is turned off. I think if this was a problem Canon would have made a statement by now and I could not find anything. Thanks for watching Terry, appreciate the support 👍🏻
What about leaving it on when your shutter speed is fast enough hand holding? As in your first set where you switched it off? Is this detrimental like when on a tripod? Or can help?
It certainly can't hurt to leave IS turned on, I turned it off in the video to clearly show that IS is not required when shooting in good light. Thanks for watching.
If your shutter speed is slow then a combination of monopod and VR could help, however for panning unless you have a second VR mode (2 / sports / active) then I would turn it off.
You always have a way of explaining things that just make it simple to understand which is a gift. Keep up the great work my guy.
He's a good teacher.

Thanks, Paul, for the explanation, when I think of stops, I think aperture.
Careful, cause many entry cameras only allow to adjust ISO in full stops, despite doing ISO thirds when ISO is on auto, plus minimum shutter relates to focal distance, you can hand shut at 1/20 if using 10mm and your example 1/60 will bring shaking if you use 200mm, foe example
Thanks Paul for these great tips. I really enjoy and get benefitted by your tips. 💚👍

it didn't click to me, you said stops are measurements of light in exposure but how does it translated to ibis? did I miss something in your video?

Clearly explained. Subscribed.
Thanks for the support.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support David 👏👏
Hey great video! I just had a question, how do you know how many stops of stabilization your camera or lense has?
Thank you for clarification. I understand how stops are related to the exposure marks thanks to you
If you have a camera with IS and you have a lens with IS, should they both, be turned on when photographing?
How IS functions, when it is ON, in camera body and lens also? Does it mean Better IS achieved? Added numerically?
I realy understand that moving sbject do not use stabilzer it is correct?
Great video. Thanks Paul.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍👌
Thank you Miguel, much appreciated 😃
Thanks, I had issues understanding this
Thanks for explaining it. 👏👏👏
You're welcome 😊
thankyou. was helpful
Some more good tips Paul.

Great Video & some great tips 💯👏👌👍
Glad it was helpful Chris, thank you.
Should I turn off the VR when on a monopod but panning at a motorbike race.?
If your shutter speed is slow then a combination of monopod and VR could help, however for panning unless you have a second VR mode (2 / sports / active) then I would turn it off.
Thanks Paul-always good fun every time ✨
Glad you enjoyed it Barry 🙂
Thank you sir for this wonderful video to understand IS.
You are most welcome
Should you use stabilization when using a mono pod?
Good question, I cannot see it being a hinderance, so yes I would consider it if your shutter speed is slow.
I shoot canons and know most subjects you present. However I always gain a little piece of knowledge from you. Thank you for your work.
Great information, thanks Paul.
My pleasure Ken.
Thanks a lot for this clear and concise explanation.
You are welcome! Appreciate the feedback - thank you.
Thank you Paul for all your great videos!👌🏼🥳
I've been into photography over a year no matter how much I learn you still teach me something new.
Got it now! You're the best 💖
Thank you kindly 😃
You help me out a lot mate ✔️
Cheers Tommy, thanks for watching 😃
IS is mainly for video. Unless, for photographs, the subject is a stationary object, it is useless for even portraits, yet alone moving subjects.
You haven't a clue what you are talking about.
