This is just as cautionary for Pentax cameras with IBIS as it is with Olympus IBIS …
I had the E-M1 on a tripod this evening to do our annual holiday self-portrait. This is always a tricky thing as the lights tend to saturate, so I run -EV compensation and soft ambient lighting to bring it up. Exposures with the ZD 11-22 @ 11mm were in the ISO 400 @ f/8 @ 4-5 seconds range. After four blurry shots, using both SAF and MF focusing, I was beginning to wonder what had gone wrong with the camera. Then it dawned on me ... I turned off IS. The next two captures were razor sharp. So ... they mean it when they recommend turning off IS for tripod use. It might not affect you in some other lens/exposure time range as much, but it was clearly the problem here.
