But if I trip the shutter >when it is making noise (stabilizing?), how do I know when? What body are you using ? On my Elan II and 1V the IS stays active as long as I hold the shutter down half-way. So my procedure is basically: 1. Press shutter half-way to activate exposure, AF and IS 2. Continue to hold shutter half-way (IS active) until the moment is right. 3. Press shutter all the way and take picture. If I release the shutter after only pressing it half-way the IS mechanism stays active for a second or two and then deactivates. - John * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
