I have read elsewhere that if using a tripod or monopod (in my case) the IS should be turned off. Is this why it is clunky? I am on the point of returning it to a dealer for checking it out. I can't see any advice about this in the manual.

Jul 13, 2003 14:17 | #3 Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for being thick but when you say "I never do and have had no adverse effects" does that mean you keep the IS on and you don't get the clunkiness, or you never switch it on when using a tripod?
