Question about VR (Nikon) or IS (Canon) lenses
Not quite sure how to explain this but Is this normal..........
If I look through the camera and pan around it's just normal movement.
If I look through the camera and pan around whilst 'half' pressing the shutter it's just normal movement but then just before I press the shutter it does a slight shift.
Is this Image stabilisation ?

As others have said, yes it is (you are switching to Mode 2 when panning aren't you?)
