floating image with new 500f4/L IS in Canon EOS Mount Posted December 12, 1999 I have been using the 500f4/L IS for three months and I never switch off the IS. The performance has been fantastic--shooting with the doubler off an undersized tripod (Bogen 3221) and car window mount (Rue Groofwin Pod). I hold my face tight to the eyecup, right hand on the camera grip and left hand above the tripod mount. The one time I tried to go "hands off" with a cable release, however, I did experience "floating" and it freaked me out. But I had forgotten about it until now. I'll check further to find out what's going on. I suspect that the IS system needs to detect some kind of movement in order to work properly.
