Does it work? Yep. But as a sports photog who almost always shoots no less than 1/500, and an old-school photog used to shooting at a shutter speed at least double my 35mm focal length, I almost always have IS/VR turned off. Also, I've heard some people claim that IS/RV affects either AF or frame rate. I don't believe that's true, but I've heard that claim. Also for video, when doing my talking head shots, I turn it off when the camera is on a tripod. I've noticed the camera try to actually track my face while I'm moving around while shooting a video - the framing moves! In that case, it actually induces stabilization issues.

Agreed! If there isn't a reason it helps while being on, then I'm going to turn it off when I don't need it.

I keep VR (Nikon's name for IS) on pretty much all the time. Even when shooting sports, I find it easier to track my subjects in frame and keep them composed how I want with it on. And with a camera like the D5, the battery drain is minimal. Good video though

Cool to hear it helps you track your subjects and glad you have a good reason to have it on! I've found the opposite for me with the frame sometimes feeling like it jerks around.

What is your minimum shutter speed for turning on image stabilization?

Thank you

You're welcome!

Shot a soccer game with a Canon 70-200 2.8 III for the first time. Most images came out a tad soft even at 1/1250 !! My pro photographer friend said it could be the image stabilization! Will turn it off for the next game.

Yea there can be a lot of reasons images end up a little soft. Sometimes a little soft is good enough for social media though!

@@Paul_Rutherford he said you only noticed it if you zoom in at 200%. Would you say that is acceptable considering some of these shots were 200 ft away?

I'd have to see the photo to know. But most times you crop really tight it won't look as sharp as you want it to

I only shoot sports now, and I never shoot below 1/1000, and could never see a difference in the end result, so the IS is always off. I'm still an amateur and am relatively new to photography, but I don't see any benefit in my situation.

Agreed! If there isn't any benefit then keep it off!

What if u have it on a gimbal and shooting video

Great question. I don't shoot a lot of video and don't own a gimbal, but I'd say if you have something else stabilizing your camera then you shouldn't need it. Again I'm not a video expert so that could be wrong.

I have shaky hands... its staying on 😂
