I don't think it does. IS is a function that works independent from focusing
and exposure. I guess what you are thinking is that IS adds an extra
"operation" for stabilzation, but that is not the way it works. The
IS-function starts when you "half press" the trigger and keeps on
stabilizing the image until you have taken the image (or a few seconds after
you decided not to take the image and have taken your finger from the
trigger).
