Alot of times when Im shooting a wedding or portraits, I need to set the camera down to pose people but I just set it down and leave the camera on since I have the camera set to turn off after 1 minute anyway but now that I have an IS lens how will that effect the lens? I don't think it's a problem unless you're shooting while it's set down on something. The IS can affect the image quality because the IS part of the lens is moving to adjust for your movement.
