OuterHeaven that shot is nice!

Thank you so much!!

I have a question: my image in the view finder of my 24-105 seems to jump side-to-side when I focus.
I provide a short video, I have set it to 105mm, on a sturdy tripod, live view with 10x magnification:

Is this normal? I have a 35mm f/2 IS USM (newer IS) and this does not happen at all!
Thank you for your help.

It's the Image Stabilization (IS) doing what it's supposed to do.

Turn off IS if using a tripod or fixed mount, as this casues the IS system as mentioned to "do what it's supposed to do".

I see this also in my 24-105. Normal phenomenon of the IS "jumping" when starting as far as I know!

No, it is not normal at all. None of my lenses does that, unless:

1. IS switched on or in the wrong mode (mode 1 while panning)
2. Mounted on a tripod

Cheers.

I think this explains what is going on...

Canon IS

Note - it's split over 2 pages.

If this is correct, it should not be necessary to switch off IS when using the 24-105 on a tripod (though I habitually do). On my own copy (IS on) I can't detect any initial movement hand-holding, but putting it on a tripod I can see a very slight shift when IS operates.

these would be a lot better imo without the hdr effect and the frames

Thanks. None have any HDR effect BTW.

^^^ Really like this shot Steve - nicely done.
