IBIS , ILIS OR BOTH?
Jan 22, 2020 09:10:17 #
So who is right regarding the Nikon Z cameras? Earlier in the discussion, there were opposing views on this.
My feel, as opposed to belief, is thT one would leave both on to maximize the stops.

To all: This is one instance where it really pays to Read The *Fine* Manual. The dual stabilization issue is a minefield of gotchas and brand-specific differences.

If you read carefully, both comments about Nikon Z were the same poster. There was no conflict, as the second comment was saying there's NOT a problem with the Z in response to an earlier post.
IOW, the Z works with in-body and in-lens together.

On my Olympus E-M1 Mark II with my 12-100mm lens that has ILIS, I leave both ILIS and IBIS ON. I can't speak to other cameras and lenses, but the improvement using ILIS is far better than I imagined it could be.

If you have a smartphone or tablet, go to your camera manufacturer's website and download a PDF copy of the advanced or full features owner's manual. That way, it will be with you where ever you are.
I keep copies of reference manuals on my iMac (folder on the Desktop) and iPhone (in iBooks), and refer to them as needed. My camera came with a hard copy, but it stays in my camera closet. The PDF files are hot-linked from the table of contents and index, or searchable from the search field. It's pretty easy to find information...
Of course, I have learned to read "JEnglish" (badly translated-by/from-Japanese English) over the last half century, and that dialect has become somewhat more intelligible in that time, too.

It can't be done with just any lens and camera, they have to communicate with each other for it to work. Only certain combinations have the capability.

Only some Olympus camera/lens combinations have dual IS.
I leave IBIS on with a tripod, because I'm always using a tripod with a long lens, and it's never as stable as it should be. By "long" I mean the lens moves when I'm walking behind the tripod because the ground shakes the lens.

There were no opposing views, but there is an EXCEPT.
Except when you are talking about the Z50 which has no IBIS. The 2 lenses introduced for that camera have stabilization built into them.

The Panasonic G9, GH5, G95, and several other late model Panasonic cameras have Dual IS or Dual IS 2.
Selected Panasonic lenses are compatible with Dual IS 2. More are compatible with Dual IS. They tend to be the pro-grade G X-Vario and Panasonic Leica lenses, and version II lenses released since the G9. With the latest camera AND LENS firmwares installed, as much as 6.5 stops of shake reduction is possible.

Interesting question. I think I would test both IBIS & ILIS separately to see which gave the best results. Using both could be counterproductive & possibly cancel each other out.
However, both Olympus and Panasonic advise to use both as they are compatible and will work together to increase the stabilization factor.
