The Image Stabilizer is not effective for moving subjects.

The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as on a rocking boat.

The Image Stabilizer can operate with the focus mode switch set to either <f> or <g>.

If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by switching the IS switch to <2>.

The Image Stabilizer can 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-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens switches the IS mode automatically.
