IS
USM or EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6
IS
USM lens, the Image Stabilizer will not be very effective while you move
the camera to take panned shots.

either <AF> or <MF>.
• If the camera is mounted
on
a tripod, you can save battery power by

• The Image Stabilizercan operate even when the camera is mounted
on
a monopod.

Some IS lenses enable you
to
switch the
IS
mode manually to suit the
shooting conditions. However, the EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6
IS
and EF-
S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses switch the IS mode automatically.
