winn Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought the photo information file stated whether or not the IS was on when the picture was taken. (I'm using Canon's 70-300mm IS lens and the D400.) I don't see it in Canon's DPP nor Photoshop Elements info files. Am I misremembering (I am getting older!), do I have a wrong setting, or is something wrong? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I may have missed it but I did not see IS in the EXIF when using EXIFTool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohammed_abidally Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Have never seen IS info in Exif data on my 30D. Wish it could be there though for postmortem analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Have a search of the EXIF definitions yourself: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Canon.html#FiletInfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winn Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks for the link Greg. I guess I misremembered, I didn't see anything listed for IS. I was trying to compare photos taken using a tripod of the Moon to see if the IS made a difference (I think it helps - I think I get some vibrations from the ground). Unfortunately, I jumped back and forth randomly, without noting which pictures had it on. Thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Generally, it is recommended to turn IS off when using a tripod - but if you are getting vibration then maybe... Some of the newer lenses can detect when they are on a tripod and internally switch off IS - can't remember which ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winn Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 "Generally, it is recommended to turn IS off..." That's why I was doing the experiment. I did forget that some lenses do automatically turn IS off. I don't think mine did when I was shooting. I'll have to look into it further. Thanks...
