I took a number of night shots at Winterlude on tripod with IS on. Why?
I was too concerned with focus (Pen 70/2) etc, that I forgot that the IS
was on (but set to the correct FL). No problem with sharpness, that I
could see. Then I think I switched the IS off, when I went back to the
45/1.8 and AF. They seem sharp as well.
I have a reasonably solid tripod (Manfroto 055) and ballhead (Acratech).
Nevertheless, with the big Tammy 80-200 + OM-D, I was surprised how much
movement could take place. I was inside, on wood flooring, so had the
luxury of taking my time. Anyway, I took several shots with the 100/2,
the 180/2.5 and the zoom at 80 and 200mm, most with IS on, but a couple
with IS off. If anything, better results with IS on.
I've a bit of difficulty understanding the IS off/tripod combination. I
would think that if the camera is not moving (e.g., on tripod) then the
IS would not be kicking in either; the IS is presumably reactive.
