Donzo98 Posted December 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Do you guys routinely use OIS?? I haven't really used it yet... On my Nikon stuff, I generally have VR on almost all the time. With the Q being 28mm and 1.7... with so much DOF I haven't needed it. Opinions??

Advertisement Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Hi Donzo98, Take a look here OIS . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gvadf Posted December 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2016 I always use it. Never thought about switching it off. Why should I? Does it improve something else? On my Nikon D500 lenses shooting sports with 1/1600 sec, sometimes I switch it off. Because of the focussing speed vs. serial function. But I do not see a difference in pictures, when i 've forgotten it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted December 12, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 12, 2016 Never use it. Irritating rattle and an extra drain on the battery, and when I occasionally support my camera on a flat surface (or tripod ) for long exposures the OIS can hunt and cause the focus to drift and the image to lose sharpness. However, I can imagine situations when it might be useful. I definitely used it on hand-held, long 300/400mm canon lenses at air shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted December 12, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 12, 2016 I have it switched off. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyW Posted December 12, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2016 Don't think I've taken one photo with the Q with IS on, in over twelve months of ownership! Never thought about switching it on, why would I ... Am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted December 13, 2016 Share #6 Posted December 13, 2016 Might use it if the light gets really low and I'm shooting a non moving subject otherwise it is recommended to leave it off (default setting) as it can degrade IQ in certain circumstances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonomaBear Posted December 15, 2016 Share #7 Posted December 15, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I leave it on unless using a tripod or when the very ultimate IQ is needed. The moving element will degrade the image ever so slightly. But it is a small price to pay for the brilliant Q's ability to get the shot effortlessly in most cases.

Iduna Posted December 15, 2016 Share #8 Posted December 15, 2016 I always leave it on because I shoot very often in low light and keeping changing is irksome. I put it off on a tripod. During low light it improves your handheld exposures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beauport Posted December 19, 2016 Share #10 Posted December 19, 2016 I've used it on a few occasions but haven't found a strong need to do so with the ISO ability. There is this: "Leica recommends to deactivate the OIS optical stabilization in order to get the best from the German-assembled lens and obviously a better battery life." http://leicarumors.com/2015/07/27/interesting-interview-with-the-designers-of-the-leica-q-typ-116-camera.aspx/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
