A breif word of caution re the use of a mono or tripod with IS. I
don't know if it is true with the OLY but I know for Canon lenses
with IS the instruction book specifically states not to use IS with
a Tipod as it will burn out the gyros an or motors.
Hi Andy!
That advice is true with SOME Canon lenses. The newer ones, I
understand, can be used on a tripod.
With the Oly, there are no warnings that I can find in the
book. However, while up/down motion will be low on a monopod, there
is still side to side motion, so if I can use the IS, I most likely
will. To be sure, I will drop a quick note to Olympus support ...
they have been amazingly good.
Cheers!
